In a dazzling demonstration of political showmanship, the Trumps once again proved that they’re never lacking in flair and theatrics. As the charismatic Eric Trump and his wife Lara took center stage at Auburn University, it was clear they weren’t there just to wave to fans or graciously pose for pictures. Oh no, they had something far more electrifying up their sleeves—a live call with none other than the former President himself!
As the crowd buzzed with excitement, Eric toyed with the idea of calling his father, as if channeling that suspenseful moment just before the rollercoaster dips. “Should we call him?” he teased—a pretty rhetorical question, given the audience’s boisterous cheers. Naturally, he dialed the number, and with a few clicks, the stadium of thousands shared a phone line with a man whose influence shows no sign of waning.
The voice of Donald Trump—after a polite applause break—rose above the chatter, greeting the throng of Auburn fans with his trademark bravado. He showered Auburn with praise, reminiscing about past visits and victories in Alabama, as if reintroducing them to the prestigious Trump brand. Apparently, this wasn’t just a local college crowd; it was a congregation of the most ardent patriots America could offer. According to him, they adored the country, God, and of course, the entire Trump dynasty.
As humor and adulation flowed freely, the former President showed he hadn’t lost his penchant for hyperbole, touting the current state of the nation under his watchful eye (and reminding Eric to keep up the good work). But amid the boisterous exchanges, he turned serious, offering heartfelt respects to a certain “Charlie,” a cherished part of their team. Trump gave Charlie the credit for being the first in line—always ready to help—casting a warm, humanizing light on his team and their efforts.
Finally, as Eric sealed the call with a boisterous “Love you, Pops,” the crowd roared with chants of “USA, USA,” their enthusiasm palpable even through the screen. It was an evening filled with nostalgia, joviality, and a sense of belonging for everyone present. The unmistakable message echoed: for these supporters, America First means Trump First, and with such staunch backing, the drama, spectacle, and unabashed declarations seem far from reaching curtain call.
