appear more restrained and thus more presidential. Not admiration here, just an observation of his demeanor.

Only a handful of young men marched out with him, and most of the ceremony didn't feature him, or even show him. To the point that I wondered if he was deliberately downplayed.

Everything was set, and then he announces he's going to the game. Then everyone starts changing plans because he'll be there. He should have gone to his suite and watched the game, if that is what he can even do. I think his attention deficit and dementia are so bad, he can't pay attention for more than a quarter.

was "crime infested" and "falling apart." Can't believe he had the nerve to show his face.

There was an attempt to get a USAUSA cheer going but I thought boos were stronger than cheers, especially when you heard the cheers when the Zac Brown Band was introduced to sing the anthem.
And this is a southern football crowd, which I am often a member of and which are generally at least 4:1 conservative.
