Trump in Atlanta: President is attending national championship game

President Donald Trump is set to arrive in metro Atlanta on Monday about two hours before the Georgia-Alabama game.

The president will fly with Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue from the American Farm Bureau Federation’s annual meeting in Nashville and will arrive at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta at 6 p.m.

He’ll take a motorcade from there to downtown Atlanta, with plans to arrive at the stadium shortly before 7 p.m.

The fans who paid top dollar to watch Georgia face Alabama at Mercedes-Benz Stadium may not see the president. But his presence should be obvious.

His decision to catch the championship game adds a twist to the biggest college football contest in Georgia’s history — and a host of soon-to-be answered questions.
