Fans on social media had mixed reactions to his appearance.
"The people love him," one user said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Trump is no stranger to sporting events. Trump was a noted guest at UFC 299 in Miami, Florida back in March.
He is also no stranger to the SEC. During his lone presidential term, he invited head coach Dabo Sweeney and the Clemson Tigers to the White House to celebrate their winning the National Championship.
He also went viral for the spread of foot that he had laid out for Clemson, which included an assortment of fast food such as Chic Fil A.
Nick Saban Has High Praise For Bulldogs
The Georgia Bulldogs came into this season as one of the favorites to qualify for the 2025 College Football Playoff. But after barely squeaking past unranked Kentucky last week, some were already putting the Bulldogs under a microscope.
Coming into Saturday's matchup against the Crimson Tide, Georgia knew it would be no ordinary. A loss this early, especially to a top contender could foil their playoff hopes. Ahead of their matchup with the Tide, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban had high praise for this year's Georgia squad.
"I think that's what Georgia really has. Georgia has established an identity as a team. They're physical up front on both sides of the ball. They can make explosive plays. They have a good quarterback. They were concerned about the running back situation. Well, Nate Frazier solved that as a freshman," Saban said.
"They play the same kind of defense they've always played. If you've ever seen them play in the past, they've created that same kind of identity now.
That's what Kentucky has not been able to do. They couldn't run the ball, the quarterback struggled, they struggled in protection, and they couldn't stop the run. I think Georgia, right now, to me, is the team that has the best identity of any team in the country."
