It sounds like former United States President Donald Trump will be in attendance for next weekend’s college football rivalry showdown between the Clemson Tigers and the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia, South Carolina. But Trump’s appearance at the game is quite a problem for some people – and it has nothing to do with politics.
As Fits News reported this week, Donald Trump will be attending the game, and it won’t exactly be a simple in-and-out endeavor. A source told Fit News that his attendance at the game will be a “massive production” involving a “massive law enforcement presence.” Of course, this also means a lot of traffic – and people will not be happy about that.
Before and after the game, Trump’s motorcade is expected to cause shutdowns of multiple traffic arteries – including Interstate freeways. This will cause major traffic problems around the stadium, which is an area that already has a lot of traffic problems even without Trump.
“He could lose more votes than he picks up due to the traffic alone,” one source told Fit News.
His presence at the game is going to be a major problem when it comes to gameday logistics, and people aren’t all that happy about it.
Maybe it will keep that Orange caravan out https://t.co/ZhqCOX4QRR

You guys think traffic is a disaster on game days in Columbia? Just wait until Donald Trump shows up for the #Gamecocks #Clemson game. City will be locked.

I’m not understanding why he is even coming.

Great, that’s all we need is a bigger traffic jam at the biggest game in the state.

Politics aside, having a dignitary at a large event is just a nightmare for fans trying to get in to the game. Security is ramped up and it slows down everything at the gates. It just really sucks.

Will make traffic worse than it already is. The university and city need to hire some traffic experts to help them get it right

Security lines to get into the game will be long, I lived that at the Daytona 500.

We’ll have to see how South Carolina handles the increased traffic.
