President Donald Trump got quite the reaction from fans at Hard Rock Stadium during the national anthem.
Donald Trump is in attendance for the national championship game between the Indiana Hoosiers and Miami Hurricanes. The 79-year-old president was shown on the jumbotron during the performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
And Trump, who easily won Florida in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections, received thunderous cheers from the crowd:

Well, it’s a much different reaction than the one Trump received for the Detroit Lions-Washington Commanders game on Nov. 9. Trump was viciously booed by the fans at Northwest Stadium.
Trump has been to plenty of sporting events during his second term in the White House. Last year, he became the first sitting American president to attend the Super Bowl, held in New Orleans, Louisiana.
