Leading by example … Gotta love it!
President Trump entered the college football national championship game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide, then continued to stand while the National Anthem was performed by the Zac Brown Band.
The crowd definitively roared their approval for the President.
“President Trump took the field for the National Anthem ahead of Monday night’s college football championship game,” Real Clear Politics reported. “Trump was greeted with a roar at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz stadium, the home of NFL’s Atlanta Falcons.”

Over the last several months, President Trump has made repeated assertions that athletes – particularly football players – should stand to respect the National Anthem, the American flag, and the men and women who fought for them both.
The NFL has decided that it will not force players to stand for the playing of our National Anthem. Total disrespect for our great country!

Now, our Commander-in-Chief leads by example.
To be sure, RCP reports that there were some ‘jeers’ for the President, particularly those outside the stadium as he approached in his motorcade.
That crowd, however, was just as you’d expect – people with too much time on their hands, who didn’t buy a ticket to the game, and were belligerent losers.
Case in point – some of them were projecting the words “f*** Trump” on the front of the stadium.
Yes, he got bood and this was posted all around the stadium along with towels the crowd waved saying Fuck Trump! notice the crowd wasn’t shown😛that’s why my friend! pic.twitter.com/i1Pc7g2P47

No ticket. No job. No life. No friends … Democrats.
Sounds like a new bumper sticker slogan for our friends on the left. You’re welcome.
Then, of course, there was opposition from this blithering idiot, star running back from Alabama, Bo Scarbrough. Video showed Scarbrough yelling “F*** Trump” as his team made its way down to the field.

He’s clearly NFL material.
As for the rest of the crowd, the majority, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes, “President Donald Trump was greeted with a booming chorus of cheers mixed with some boos as he took the field.”
That’s a more accurate description – mostly cheers with a smattering of boos – than you’re going to see from the media today.
What did you think of President Trump appearing at the championship game and standing for the National Anthem? Share your thoughts below!
Amazing. With those bone spurs that kept him from serving his country in time of war, he can still walk on a football field, and still play $92 million in golf vacations.
When politics gets down to this level it’s called Communism. They want to control every aspect of your life, and the “weak-minded” are buying it. Sad, the only thing they know, is how to follow & do what they are told to do by those who control their life.
No Scarbough…..F**K YOU! You POS! Hope you break both your legs you bastard! You’re no good anyhow. Go to Hell! GO TRUMP!!! TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!
