During his appearance at Clemson University for the Palmetto Bowl in South Carolina, former President Donald Trump faced a chorus of boos from college football fans. Videos circulating online captured the predominant negative reception as he visited the alma mater of his former GOP primary rival, Nikki Haley, on Saturday.
In response to the disappointing reception, Trump took to Truth Social on Sunday night, sharing a series of links to articles portraying his appearance in a highly positive light. One headline read, “A Hero’s Welcome.”
In another post he wrote: “Trump Receives Huge Welcome at the SC Clemson Game: ‘Take Back America’”

This development coincides with a report from the New York Times highlighting the repercussions of Trump’s decision to pardon loan shark Jonathan Braun on his final day in office in 2021. The pardon, which freed Braun, convicted of running an illegal marijuana cartel, after serving a quarter of his ten-year sentence.
According to The Times, the pardon dealt a “substantial blow” to the Justice Department’s criminal investigation targeting members of the predatory lending industry who had harmed small businesses.
