President Trump and college football games, and another title game, have become commonplace during his time in the White House. Monday night in New Orleans was no different.
As previously reported, President Trump -- and the First Lady -- was in attendance at the College Football Playoff title game between Clemson and LSU. Prior to the national anthem, the POTUS and First Lady Melania Trump walked out onto the Mercedes-Benz Superdome field.

As the AP noted, “Trump won a nearly 20-point victory in Louisiana in the 2016 presidential election.”
This is the third game President Trump has attended this season. The first was LSU-Alabama in November, the second the annual Army-Navy game a month later.
