Former US President Donald Trump received a warm welcome at the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the New York Jets on Sunday evening, as the crowd erupted in chants of “USA! USA!” Trump, a prominent figure in American politics, was seen waving at the audience and making a “fight, fight, fight” gesture, a signature move of his supporters.
The scene unfolded at Acrisure Stadium, where Steelers fans gathered to cheer on their team. The event was documented by Margo Martin, Deputy Director of Communications for Trump, who shared a video on X. The footage captures the electric atmosphere, with the crowd’s chants and cheers filling the air.
Trump’s visit to the Steelers game comes on the heels of a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, which was attended by former Steelers players Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell on Saturday. Brown, a legendary wide receiver, spoke highly of Trump, praising him for embodying the values of hard work and loyalty that he had grown up with in Pittsburgh. The former player’s sentiments were reflected in his actions, as he was seen distributing yellow “Trump-Vance” towels to a crowd of Steelers fans gathered outside the stadium.
The Steelers organization had announced earlier that Trump would be in attendance, stating that he would be a guest of an individual suite holder. The team’s spokesman, Burt Lauten, made the announcement on Saturday, providing a glimpse into the arrangements that had been made for Trump’s visit. The event marked a rare occasion where a former US President would be attending a professional sports game in the region.
