President Donald Trump congratulated the Clemson Tigers on Tuesday morning following their Championship win Monday night.
“Congratulations to a truly great football team, the Clemson Tigers, on an incredible win last night against a powerful Alabama team,” he wrote. “A big win also for the Great State of South Carolina. Look forward to seeing the team, and their brilliant coach, for the second time at the W.H.”

Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the Tigers managed to bury Alabama in a hard-fought game of offense, 44-16.

Trump often offers praise for South Carolina in his speeches and on his Twitter feed. The feeling is pretty mutual — South Carolina overwhelmingly voted for Trump in 2016 and is considering canceling the state’s 2020 primary in order to protect Trump from a challenger.
