College Football Fans React To Donald Trump Attending Big Rivalry Game

College Football’s 10 Most Intimidating Stadiums (1:16)

During his tenure as President and in the years following, Donald Trump has attended several college football games.

According to a new report from political journalist Mark Halperin, Trump, who is the Republican nominee for this year’s presidential election, is planning to be at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the Alabama-Georgia showdown on Sept. 28.

Alabama is 1-1 in games Trump has attended, with a win over Georgia in the national championship game six years ago and a loss at home to LSU in 2019. 

Social media reacted to news of his plans on Monday afternoon.

“As cool as it is, 2019 LSU was an absolute nightmare to get into as a student/fan,” one Alabama fan said, referencing the special security measures.

“You thought traffic was already going to be a nightmare,” Alabama radio host Wyatt Fulton said.

“Nothing is stopping him while Kamala hides in a hole,” a Trump supporter added.

“I can’t even escape him when I watch my favorite sports team,” countered another commenter.

“Nooooo — it makes for a miserable experience when a former president attends a game. Takes like four hours to get into the game,” another Alabama fan complained.

Whatever security measures were in place when Trump last checked out a game at Bryant-Denny five years ago, they will likely be enhanced after a second attempt on the politician’s life was thwarted over the weekend.

Trump was hit by a shooter’s bullet during a rally in Pennsylvania in July. On Sunday, Secret Service opened fire on a man with a rifle near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach.

The man was eventually taken into custody and is reportedly facing felony charges.
