University of Alabama Students Already Staging Campus Protests Ahead Of Trump’s Visit: “I Hate Trump More Than Auburn”

Donald Trump is slated to attend a football game at the University of Alabama this afternoon between the U of A Crimson Tides and LSU.

Now, as I am sure you can recall, Donald’s recent public appearances haven’t worked out so well for him. He turned down the traditional first pitch during Game 5 of the World Series and even slipped in late with a posse of the worst human scum he could dig up, no doubt in hopes that he’d avoid a public display of dislike at his expense. However, he had no such luck, as the huge crowd broke out in rambunctious boos and chants of “Lock him up!” the moment his arrival was announced and his face was displayed on the Jumbotron.

He tried again when he attended Ultimate Fighting Championship 244 at Madison Square Garden for the UFC welterweight fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz — an event that you would’ve thought was chock full of his kind of people. But yet again, no such luck.

Donnie found himself booed again in the span of just a few days by the crowd gathered at the UFC event.

When it comes to tonight’s football game at the University of Alabama, it seems that the school is doing all they can to ensure that Donald doesn’t find himself quite so embarrassed for a third time by issuing a warning to their students — if you make a scene tonight, you’re going to lose your preferred seating for the year.

Now, the school has claimed that their decision to issue the students this warning has nothing to do with politics. However, that didn’t stop Trump from retweeting the letter and making it look as though it was a personal favor to him.
