President Trump made an appearance during the halftime segment of Monday’s College Football Playoff championship between Ohio State and Notre Dame.

“This has been an historic and exciting day for our country,” Trump said in a pre-taped statement.

“In recent years our people have suffered greatly, but starting now we’re going to bring America and make it safer, richer and prouder than ever before.”

Trump was sworn in as the United States’ 47th president on Monday in the Capital Rotunda.

Trump added during his halftime address that the United States “will stop wars and lead the world to peace.”

“We will be admired again, admired like we haven’t been in many, many years.”

Soon after becoming commander in chief, he signed a swarm of executive orders — including an effort to salvage TikTok, curb inflation and remove the US from the Paris climate agreement.

“The golden age of America has just begun,” Trump said to finish off his statement. “To all of the players, fans watching tonight I know it’s been a long and difficult journey…

“Let the better team win, and I’m going to enjoy watching it.”

The Buckeyes led the Fighting Irish going into halftime 21-7.
