A large audience erupted in applause as former President Donald Trump was displayed on jumbotrons, waving during a college football game on Saturday in western Alabama, as evidenced by various videos. These recordings captured moments from a Southeastern Conference matchup between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Trump was situated in the skybox, where he alternately waved and performed fist pumps, while the crowd below responded in kind, as shown in another video.

The fist pumps evoke memories of Trump’s resolute reaction to his near-fatal encounter on July 13, when Thomas Matthew Crooks, aged 20, fired a weapon at Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The Republican presidential candidate suffered a gunshot injury to his ear. Tragically, former volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore lost his life while protecting his daughter, before the United States Secret Service fatally shot Crooks.

Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted a video depicting supporters chanting, “USA! USA!” prior to Donald Trump’s arrival on the stadium concourse, during which he distributed what seemed to be boxes of chicken tenders to the crowd.
