'Surprised you are asking me about politics': Army-Navy attendees blew off Trump visit

Tailgaters who attended the annual Army-Navy game had little to say about president-elect Donald Trump bringing a posse of his insiders to the game on Saturday, with most telling the Washington Post they were there for football and not politics.

According to the Post report from Emily Davies and Leigh Ann Caldwell, one admitted Trump voter, Gregg Holgate, 56, wasn't interested in talking about the man he just help elect, telling them it wasn't a topic of conversation outside the stadium.

"I couldn’t tell you a word about anyone’s politics here,” he admitted. “We talk about football, kids and stories from 20 years ago.”

According to the report, "For many of the announced 60,726 in attendance Saturday, the 125th iteration of the storied Army-Navy game promised a respite from anything controversial or charged. Bumper stickers spelled names of high school sports teams, not politicians. Bets formed over cornhole, not administration picks. The only division among tailgaters was between military branches. Even then, attendees would remind one another, they were all on one team."

Former Navy pilot, Mike Schroeder, 57, pointed out, "I’m surprised you are asking me about politics, to be honest,” adding, “This is a college-football game.”

"Among even the most ardent supporters of Trump and his nominees, the show inside the president-elect’s box couldn’t hold a candle to the game," the Post report notes before adding another attendee who had a Hegseth flag displayed next to a Trump one wasn't interested in making a big deal out it.

"Those aren’t politics. They’re just supporting the next president and secretary of defense," he admitted.
