President Trump never quite knows for sure what kind of response he’ll get at a sporting event, but it couldn’t have gone any better last night at the College Football National Championship Game in New Orleans. The President and First Lady Melania Trump were greeted with cheers and chants of “USA USA” as they walked onto the field for the national anthem.
