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. Joe Raedle/Getty Images "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.
