Trump throws chicken nuggets at a University of Alabama football game

When 17-year-old University of Alabama freshman phenom Ryan Williams wowed the Tuscaloosa crowd on September 28 with a thrilling, unimaginable catch on the sideline against the University of Georgia, Former President Donald Trump has once more acted strangely.

This time, they are saying, the previous president waved to the group after which tossed several boxes of chicken nuggets to seemingly random football fans at the University of Alabama’s Bryant-Denny Stadium.

According to the Associated Press, Trump was there as a guest of Ric Mayers Jr., an Alabama businessman who can also be a member of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club. Mayers indicated to the AP that he wanted Trump to enjoy a warm welcome, which the group gave, chanting “USA! USA!” while Trump threw boxes of nuggets.

Trump’s visit to a football game, where he was accepted and seemingly praised by the audience, stands in stark contrast to the coverage he has received since he spread a baseless conspiracy theory on the talk stage in early September.

Consistent with most of Trump’s appeals to conservatives who’ve latched onto his “Make America Great Again” slogan, there may be a view that America needs saving from black and brown people, especially black and brown immigrants.

Most of his supporters, nevertheless, would probably share the emotions of Shane Walsh, a 52-year-old businessman from Austin, Texas. Walsh said that although he doesn’t consider the previous president to be a good man, despite his personal feelings for him, Walsh believes that Trump is a figure who should represent America.

“I do not necessarily like him as a person, but I believe Washington is broken and it’s each side’ fault, and Trump is the sort of guy who can rise up for himself. It has many benefits, but weak will not be one of them. He is an optimist; he just makes you think it if he’s the one in charge. We’ll be nice. Walsh said .

While the group seemed overwhelmingly supportive of Trump based on their response, save for a few boos and prolonged middle fingers, the reality on campus could be very different than his reception at the game, in line with Braden Vick, president of the University of Alabama’s College Democrats chapter.

“I believe there may be a silent majority amongst students who are usually not with Trump. “We have a great atmosphere for a top-five game between these two teams that has playoff and championship implications, and it’s a shame that Donald Trump has to try to ruin it with his selfishness,” Vick said.
