The President of the United States showing up at a college football game is big news any time, and he did Monday night at the College Football Playoff championship game between Alabama vs Georgia. But this time there was a little extra news with it.
But first, take a look as the President takes the field for the National Anthem. It’s an exciting moment.

But President Trump also had a special guest with him.

Expect people to be jerks about it.
Personally, I think it was pretty cool. The President of the United States, the giant flag, the national anthem, the crowd singing and cheering, and Alveda King. A very cool moment.
