Opinion | In Georgia, Trump has finally made it to the tailgate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Trump loves an adoring crowd, and after being booed at baseball games, UFC fights and soccer games he didn't even attend, he has learned there's one group of fans who generally have his back: Those at Southern college football games.
65% : Trump attended the game between the University of Georgia and the University of Alabama last month, and when he was president, he regularly attended the College Football Playoff national championship game, including the title game in January 2020, when he and Melania Trump paraded on the field pregame like they were college football's prom king and queen.
49% : Trump is a man who, more than anything else, tends to his base.
48% : If there's a sport Trump has been most associated with over the past decade, it isn't boxing, wrestling or even his buddy Dana White's UFC.
47% : But it feels as though Trump has at last broken through to the tailgate.
27% : But until this year, one person -- despite now running his third presidential campaign in a row -- had been mostly absent from the tailgate primary: Trump.
25% : I now see much, much more Trump gear at the tailgates, from T-shirts to signs referencing the death of Laken Riley (a nursing student who was allegedly killed by an undocumented immigrant while on a run in February and whose death has been used as a cudgel by Trump and Greene) to MAGA hats with the letter "G" replaced by the Georgia logo, much to the chagrin of the university's copyright office.
