The fact that he's free speaks volumes about our failure "justice" system.
- Free is one thing. Fuckin duder is campaigning. Like what the actual fuck...
  
  He doesn’t deserve the title of Duder, and the title of Duder doesn’t deserve such a stain.
- Not only that...there's a good chance he is going to WIN again. What the fuck is anything?
- Yes, and if he was locked up without due process, it would say something else.
  
  They lock people up without due process awaiting trial all the time though right?
  
  If he wasn't wealthy and white he'd be behind bars right now awaiting trial.
  
  Due process does not mean, "scott free until there's a guilty verdict", you utter numpty. These aren't all civil charges.
  
  The wheels of justice grind very slowly. The bigger the case, the longer it takes to build.
  
  But yes, I'm getting impatient. There should be consequences for trying to overthrow the government.
  
  I just want him to get the same treatment I would get if I committed a serious crime in broad daylight.
- Also about the failure of our national security apparatus.
- Regular people get life in jail for less...
It sounds like one or two guys booing..? Falling for news like this is how you grow complacent and not have the voter turnout that you expect.
- Nearly exact opposite headline here - Nikki Haley's home state cheers Donald Trump at college football game.
  
  Yes, it's all bullshit and it's designed in these ways for their target audience. I actually posted another similar one further down on this thread as well.
  
  It's meant to cause division to drive outrage and profits, and everyone just gobbles it up.
- Someone needs to get their hearing checked. The embedded video in the tweet clearly has many overlapping boos, both men and women.

  I heard a mix of boos, cheering, and random noise. So you could make a headline that says either and it would still be "technically" true. The best kind of truth.
  
  Nah, it's bait news. Getting booed at a football game is not the same as getting booed by a handful of people as you drive through an area near the stadium.
- Yes one video of Trump being booed will stop thousands from voting for some reason
  
  Probably not, but it hasn't really kicked into gear yet. There will be many more. It happened in 2016 did it not?

  The current state of news media is garbage. All of it. The intent is not disseminating information, it's twisting and controlling it to fit a narrative.
Title is misleading. There are definitely boos, but the headline makes is seem like a majority were boos vs a mix of boos and cheering.
- Video sounded like uproarious cheers mostly. It's a southern crowd.
  
  The video inside the stadium was mostly cheers the groups that posted up by the entrance to boo him as he drove in was more boos. It's a Clemson South Carolina game. It would be absurd to think a majority of people booed him.
Steven Cheung, a spokesman for Trump, told a Newsweek editor in an email to "step away from your computer on a Saturday night and come to an event sometime to experience the electric Trump effect."

That troll is so far up his own ass it’s difficult to imagine how he still manages to be up Trump’s ass.
- Imagine being him and thinking, "Mm, yeah. I gotta be his promoter."
  
  Then again, a former Trump Org finance person broke down in tears last week, because he's sad they got caught committing fraud, and it makes him stressed that there's all these lawyers and investigators poking around. Some of these people are beyond help.
- The kind of electricity you get by putting pennies on a 40 amp fuse.
- A turducken of windbags maybe.
The ratio of boos:cheers for any candidate is not worth reporting on.
- The rise of fascism is so passeé! /s

He'll want every attendee charged with high treason, no less.
Why were there any cheers?
- Because there are still plenty of dipshits that inexplicably adore this fuckwad.
  
  It’s also South Carolina. The “inexplicable” part is the lack of education and the resulting increased susceptibility to brainwashing
  
  Don't ruin my day, man.
- Because it's South Carolina. They don't florinate their water but will drink the cool aid all day long.
  
  SC doesn't florinate their water, but they do fluoridate it. I'm not even sure what florination is.
  
  Kool-Aid*
  
  What smart state are you from?
Lmao, Cheeto Man
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Former President Donald Trump was met with loud boos as he arrived at Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina on Saturday ahead of the Palmetto Bowl.

The former president was invited to watch the football game at the request of Governor Henry McMaster, who became Haley's successor after Trump named her U.S. ambassador to the United Nations in 2017.

The MAGA leader was greeted with audible boos as his black SUV was arriving at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday, according to video clips shared on X, formerly Twitter.

Simon Ateba, Chief White House Correspondent at Today News Africa, shared a video on X showing the crowd inside the stadium cheering and clapping for the former president.

Trump's stop in South Carolina comes amid potential key updates involving his criminal and civil trials that could tarnish his 2024 presidential campaign.

"Additional video from AP's Meg Kinnard captures the mix of cheers and boos when Trump + McMaster walked onto the field tonight for a quick appearance during halftime of the USC-Clemson football game," Byrd posted.

The original article contains 533 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I bet there are a lot of republicans at a South Carolina football game

The fact this chorrizo hasn't been shot yet is what surprised me the most. Or, you know, burned, stabbed, mangled... whatever.
- People who promise actual real change usually get shot when other options don't work. Trump is just more sewage.
