Former President Donald Trump was greeted with roaring chants of "USA! USA!" at the Steelers-Jets game Sunday night, as he waved to the crowd and energized the stadium just a day after rallying with former Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell.
Former President Donald Trump received a thunderous welcome Sunday night at the Pittsburgh Steelers game against the New York Jets, as chants of “USA! USA!” echoed through Acrisure Stadium. The moment, captured in a video posted on X by Margo Martin, Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications, shows Trump waving to the crowd and gesturing “Fight, fight, fight,” as the chants intensified.
Trump’s appearance at the game followed his rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the previous day, where former Steelers stars Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell made headlines by attending and showing their support for the former president. Brown, a former Steelers wide receiver, praised Trump during the rally, citing his embodiment of “hard work” and “loyalty,” values Brown associated with his time in Pittsburgh.
Prior to the game, Brown was spotted throwing yellow “Trump-Vance” towels to fans gathered outside the stadium, referencing the Trump-endorsed Senate candidate J.D. Vance. Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten had confirmed that Trump would be attending the game as the guest of an individual suite holder, adding a touch of excitement to the primetime matchup.
Trump’s presence energized the crowd, adding a political flair to an already charged atmosphere as the Steelers squared off against the Jets.
