It’s no secret that former United States President Donald Trump is an avid sports fan as he regularly makes appearances at sporting events across the country and the world including LIV Golf events – which are often hosted at his golf courses – and most recently, UFC 295 over the weekend. And it sounds like there’s a good chance he makes an appearance at an upcoming college football game.
According to a report from South Carolina Gamecocks insider Brian Shoemaker of Gamecock Central in the On3 network, Donald Trump will be in attendance for next week’s rivalry showdown between South Carolina and the Clemson Tigers.
“I’m told Donald Trump’s visit for the Clemson game was confirmed to USC today. His arrival time, schedule, and the route he’s taking to Williams-Brice haven’t been given yet,” Shoemaker wrote for Gamecock Central.
It’s pretty big news that the former president will be attending the game, and it led to a lot of reactions on social media as a result.

In regards to reporting that former President Donald Trump will be at the Nov. 25 South Carolina-Clemson game, Gov. McMaster, during a media availability, said he has no details. “Long ago, Peggy and I issued him a standing invitation to come anytime he wants to.”

This won’t be the first time this season that Trump has attended a major rivalry football game as he attended the in-state rivalry showdown between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones earlier this season.
