Various users online reacted to Trump and Vance being present at the game. "So when Trump and Vance show up at the Army Navy game with Tulsi and Daniel Penny, the crowd will lose absolute control, and the legacy media's collective hive mind will explode!" one user wrote.

"Vance you think this is funny at the Army & Navy game with your "new" identity to cover you from going to prison just like Trump?" another user wrote. A third user wrote: "Of course, CBS did not broadcast the entrance of President Trump at the Army/Navy game. What was I thinking!!" A fourth one said: "Hey Trump, F**K YOU for daring to show your face at the Army-Navy game, you god d--n traitor!"

At the stadium, the game's attendants received Trump with USA chants and an overall warm welcome.

Daniel Penny Reactions

Out of all the announced guests at the game, perhaps Daniel Penny is the one who has garnered the most negative reactions. Days earlier, he was found not guilty in the chokehold death case of Jordan Neely. The verdict in itself generated backlash from Neely's supporters.

Following the verdict, JD Vance posted on X that he invited Penny to attend the game. Images now show Penny and JD Vance at the game, with Donald Trump joining them shortly after. "Daniel's a good guy, and New York's mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone," Vance wrote on X. "I'm grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he's able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage."

Several users reacted in a mixed manner to Penny's presence at the stadium. "If Trump and Vance were POTUS and VPOTUS in 1955 I'm sure they would've taken Emmett Till's murderers to a football game," one user wrote. "Marine hero Daniel Penny is in the house! JD Vance and Penny are spotted together before the Army-Navy game," Charlie Kirk wrote on X.

A third user wrote: "Scumbag, Daniel Penny, will attend Army-Navy game with Trump and Vance as a reward for choking to death homeless mentally ill black man Jordan Neely. Unreal."

According to Fox News, Trump also attended the Army Black Knights vs Navy Midshipmen game as President-elect in 2016. As President, he attended the games in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
