Former President Donald Trump is set to make an appearance at the highly anticipated college football showdown between Georgia and Alabama this Saturday in Tuscaloosa, thanks to his friendship with local businessman Ric Mayers. The excitement around this event is palpable, and many are curious about what the former president plans to munch on during the game.
When asked about Trump’s food preferences for the day, Mayers revealed an interesting selection. Trump has requested two Filet-O-Fish sandwiches with cheese from McDonald’s, complemented by stadium hot dogs, Domino’s pizza, and, of course, his go-to beverage—Diet Coke. It’s notable that Trump has previously expressed a fondness for McDonald’s during his visits to Alabama, making this menu choice a fitting homage to his tastes.
As the game approaches, weather concerns have also been on the minds of fans. Hurricane Helene, which has been making headlines, is expected to pass by Alabama without causing significant disruption. According to forecasts from the National Weather Service, the remnants of the storm will be over northern Tennessee by game day, leading to pleasant weather conditions in Tuscaloosa. Cooler temperatures and low chances of rain are anticipated, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere for the match.
Meanwhile, south of the border, U.S. Customs and Border Protection remains diligent in its enforcement efforts. Recently, officials seized over $800,000 worth of cocaine at Eagle Pass, Texas, along with additional drugs found at the Brownsville & Matamoros International Bridge. In a separate incident, officers discovered a significant amount of prohibited Mexican bologna hidden in suitcases from a vehicle entering the U.S. This underscores the ongoing vigilance required at the southern border, as travelers are reminded to be aware of the regulations regarding items they can bring into the country.
In a lighter note, NASA scientists have made an intriguing announcement regarding a temporary “mini-moon” that Earth will acquire starting this Sunday. The tiny asteroid, named 2024 PT5, will orbit our planet before moving away by late November. While Earth’s natural satellite has been with us for billions of years, this mini-moon will only be a fleeting visitor, adding an exciting twist to the cosmic backdrop as we gear up for the weekend’s events.
