The 125th Army-Navy game was a classic American spectacle: patriotism, tradition, and a stadium full of people chanting “U-S-A” as President-elect Donald Trump arrived in the presidential suite. If you didn’t know better, you’d think this was a scene from a bygone era—an era where the Commander-in-Chief actually showed up to support the troops and bask in the unity of a nation. Meanwhile, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were nowhere to be found. Shocking, right?
This marked Trump’s fifth time attending the iconic face-off, reinforcing his genuine connection with America’s armed forces. And it wasn’t just Trump who made a statement. His entourage included a lineup of conservative heavyweights and incoming administration stars: Vice President-elect JD Vance, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth, and even Florida’s Ron DeSantis. Throw in Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, and subway hero Daniel Penny, and you’ve got a veritable Mount Rushmore of people the left loves to hate.

The presidential suite was buzzing with energy. As Trump saluted during the national anthem, the crowd erupted into cheers and chants of “U-S-A.” Compare that to Biden’s typical appearances, where the sound of awkward mumbling and hastily exited stages dominates. The difference is stark, isn’t it?

And let’s talk about Daniel Penny for a second. Invited by VP-elect JD Vance, Penny represents the kind of backbone this country admires. After being smeared and dragged through the mud by New York’s so-called justice system for defending himself and others on the subway, Penny stood tall. Vance’s decision to invite him wasn’t just a kind gesture—it was a statement. Penny’s presence in that suite symbolized something bigger: the resilience of everyday Americans standing against mob rule and political persecution.

Of course, the Biden-Harris administration couldn’t be bothered to attend. For a duo that claims to value “unity” and “supporting the troops,” their absence speaks volumes. It’s almost as if showing up to honor the Army and Navy doesn’t fit their agenda. But hey, maybe Biden was too busy strategizing his next ice cream cone, and Kamala was off workshopping her latest word salad.
Incoming Commander-in-Chief. That’s a leader.
Biden has NEVER been to an Army-Navy game during his presidency.

Saturday wasn’t just about football; it was about leadership, respect, and American pride. Trump’s presence, along with the incoming administration’s rising stars, made it clear: January 20 can’t come soon enough. Until then, we’ll take the Army-Navy game as a reminder of what real patriotism looks like—and what’s been missing for far too long.
