President Donald Trump gets predictably warm welcome at Alabama-LSU

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Nearly two weeks after getting roundly booed at a World Series game in Washington D.C., President Donald J. Trump was cheered loudly at the biggest college football game of the regular season.

Less than three minutes into the game between No. 3 Alabama and No. 2 LSU, Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were shown on the big screen scoreboard at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The cheers were overwhelming for Trump, although a smattering of boos interspersed the introduction. Overall, the reaction would be considering adoring and indicative of the political tenor in a state where he’s adored.
