President Donald Trump was greeted with a booming chorus of cheers mixed with some boos as he took the field Monday for the national anthem ahead of the college football title game between Georgia and Alabama.
The president, flanked by military members, stood near the 40-yard line with his hand on his heart as the anthem played. Another wave of cheers and jeers followed him as he left the field.
It is Trump’s second visit to Atlanta since he won the election, and several dozen demonstrators protested near the stadium. Some of them sought to remind him of his harsh words about the city: Before his inauguration, he said in a tweet that the congressional district that spans the city is in “horrible shape and falling apart.”
Shortly after arriving in Atlanta, Trump signed a bill that grants Georgia its first national historic park at the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site near downtown Atlanta. He signed it shortly after Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King, boarded Air Force One.

I'm shocked , SHOCKED! to hear fake news is going on here!
I heard a smattering of boos, but it was quickly drowned out by cheers and then chants of, “USA! USA!” - guaranteed NOT FakeNews.
Bluestein is a liberal hack for the AJC fish wrapper!
The cheers definitely drowned out the boos
Trump was low key for Trump. Entered stadium with Alabama and Georgia ROTC cadets and held his hand over his heart for best National Anthem I’ve ever heard. Tour de force image.
The ones who are booing are either majoring in Queer Studies or is related to someone who is.
ALL I heard was CHEERS!!!
Ditto!
Everything was just patriotic and upbeat, until they let the “teams” on the field. I was happy the anti-American Marxists didn’t get to desecrate our Stars and Stripes. It was still disgusting. From what I viewed on television, more Alabama than Georgia took a knee, if that matters.
I’m guessing Mr. Bluestein is trying real hard to get himself one of the president’s Fake News Awards. Thursday will be epic. Epic meltdown in the MSM and in the Democrat and NeverTrumper camps!
I didn’t see it but I would bet it was overwhelming cheers and barely any boos.
Listening to a delayed version of Mark Levin’s show and ABC Radio News reported that President Trump was greeted by all Cheers!!!
I heard about 80% cheers, 20% boos.
Yeppers. I watched it live too and didn’t hear any boos. I did hear the roaring cheers.
Just in time for MLK Day...
Racist... /S
More fake news.
Cheers and applause! https://archive.is/USHZQ
Don’t get to excited. Allstate Insurance just ran a commercial blaming honkies for “bias” against all the poor downtrodden Black would be Winter Olympians.
Way to go Crackas!
huh?
