Fans boo Trump after waiting in rain outside CFP title game


President Donald Trump is in Atlanta on Monday to attend the College Football Playoff title game between Alabama and Georgia - two states that went to Trump in the 2016 election.

Yet, Trump didn't receive a warm welcome as his motorcade pulled up to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This was the scene as Trump arrived at the stadium.

In anticipation of the president's arrival, a stadium entrance was locked down for over an hour. That forced fans to wait in the rain. Mercedes-Benz Stadium isn't the easiest stadium to get into for a typical Falcons game, so it's easy to imagine that Monday's scene outside was especially chaotic.

Regardless of politics, nobody likes waiting in the cold and rain.
