President Donald Trump turned sports fan for an evening as he watched No. 1 Louisiana State University and No. 3 Clemson battle it out in the College Football Playoff championship. Trump flew to Louisiana for Monday's night's game at the Superdome in New Orleans, accompanied by first lady Melania Trump. The president and first lady walked onto the field shortly before the game for the singing of the National Anthem.
Fans from both teams cheered him loudly with some yelling out: “USA, USA." Others chanted, “Four more years." Trump was in friendly territory. He secured a nearly 20-point victory in Louisiana in the 2016 presidential election. Trump is also familiar with the two teams. He took in an LSU game in November when the team went up against Alabama.
