Trump Gets Mixed Reactions At Tennessee Texas Game
On Saturday, September 26, Donald Trump attended the Tennessee-Texas college football matchup at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Texas Longhorns faced the Tennessee Volunteers before a crowd of more than 100,000 fans, with Trump arriving ahead of kickoff and appearing on the stadium’s video boards during the game.
Reports of the crowd’s reaction, however, have varied. Some national outlets like People have characterized the response to Trump’s appearance as loud booing, while other reporting and footage from inside the stadium captured suggest the roars were more akin to cheering. Local station WVLT said its cameras showed a positive reaction while acknowledging that other footage captured both boos and cheers, suggesting the response may have differed depending on where fans were seated.
