Turning to Army's coach, Jeff Monken, the president joked, ``It probably gives the coach no reason to ever lose another game.'' With impeachment looming in Washington, Trump made the day trip to Philadelphia for the second year in a row for the storied game. Trump, who also went in 2016 as president-elect, is the 10th commander in chief to attend the contest.
The crowd cheered as Trump walked off the field after the national anthem. He put on a red Keep America Great hat. The game comes amid a renewed push by the White House to deliver moments that depict Trump governing — such as his visit to NATO in London last week and his successful lobbying for a new U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade deal — that it believes stands in stark contrast to the Democrats’ impeachment effort.
