Former President Donald Trump recently showed up to the Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh for a Steelers game. The team handed the New York Jets a crushing victory with a final score of 37-15.
Trump arrived during the first quarter to a warm welcome from the crowd that led to a “USA” chant.
A pro-Trump fan also briefly ran onto the field. Trump later expressed gratitude to fans on social media and commented on a recent NFL rule change regarding kickoffs.
“Thank you to the Steelers fans for the great reception tonight,” Trump wrote. “November 5th will be the most important in the history of our Country! MAGA 2024!!!”
“I hated seeing what the NFL did with the kickoff return. Saw it tonight at the Steelers/Jets game,” he added. “When you have something that works, don’t ‘tinker’ with it, you may end up with nothing!”
Earlier in the day, Trump had delighted McDonald’s customers by working the drive-thru at a local franchise.
“Love him or hate him, I just feel it’s really cool to see this moment in history,” local resident Caitlin Hanlon said.
“It’s a really cool moment, but I obviously support him,” she added.
“Mr. President, thank you for taking a bullet for us,” another supporter said.
“Wow, thank you, Mr. President,” the supporter’s husband said. “You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you.”
