BALTIMORE (AP) -- Donald Trump was greeted with cheers on his arrival at the annual Army-Navy game on Saturday, basking in one of the nation's most storied football rivalries as he prepares to enter the White House.
The future commander in chief, protected by panes of bulletproof glass, waved to the crowd and pumped his fist as he arrived during the first quarter of the 117th game between the military academies at West Point and Annapolis. The game, on a sunny but chilly day, was being held on relatively neutral ground, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Trump, in an interview with CBS Sports announcers Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson, said he was "totally neutral" on the outcome of the game and quipped that he might make Lundquist, who was retiring from the play-by-play booth, his ambassador to Sweden.
"I just love the armed forces, love the folks. The spirit is so incredible. I mean, I don't know if it's necessarily the best football, but it's very good. But boy do they have spirit," Trump said. Navy had won 14 straight contests in the rivalry, but Army's underdog Black Knights prevailed, 21-17, in a fourth quarter comeback that came weeks after Trump's stunning victory over Hillary Clinton.

“Trump Cheered at Army-Navy Game”
Frikken-A.
It’s pretty obvious that our folks in uniform are thrilled to finally have a real CIC again.
Yeah, well just look at the garbage they were forced to salute for the last 8 years.
Army won! The losing streak is over.
This is so exciting and heartwarming to see!
“that came weeks after Trump’s stunning victory over Hillary Clinton.”
Will Hillary declare the AP guilty of ‘fake news’ ?
After 8 years of hussein, who wouldn’t cheer a CiC that doesn’t hate you?
It’s a continuation of the Trump rally — losers becoming winners.
Get used to it.
“Will Hillary declare the AP guilty of ‘fake news’ ?”
I’m sure she’s called the press more than a few choice names, of late.
They were supposed to convince the American people to carry her to a landslide victory, and they failed.
Their fail - our win.....scrumdillyumptious!
“After 8 years of hussein, who wouldn’t cheer a CiC that doesn’t hate you?”
I think the relief most Americans are feeling, is palpable. There is just so much pent up stress and emotion that needs release.
We’re going to see a level of jubilation on January 20th that hasn’t been seen in this country for decades. That’s how suppressed our people have been by the jerk on Pennsylvania Avenue.
They don’t have any Facebook, Twitter share links. First time I’ve seen that.
