ESPN decided to broadcast a message from President Trump during halftime of the college football national championship game between Ohio State and Notre Dame on Monday.
Trump was unable to attend the game, which took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, as he was celebrating his return to the White House and had to attend the inaugural ball.
His message, however, was clear: “America’s golden age has begun.”

“Hello to my great fellow Americans. This has been a historic and exciting day for our country. In recent years our people have suffered greatly, but starting now we will bring America back and make it safer, richer and prouder than ever before ,” Trump said.
“We will have a nation filled with compassion, strength and exceptionalism. Through our power and might we will stop wars and we will bring our world to peace. We will be respected again and we will be accepted again – admired as we have not been for many, many years. We put America first, and in doing so, we will make America great again.
