President Donald Trump was hailed with massive cheers in Philadelphia Saturday, as he attended the NCAA Men’s Division I Wrestling Championship. The crowd rose to its feet and heartily applauded Trump as he entered the Wells Fargo Arena and stood on the event floor for about a minute waving to the onlookers.

Joined by billionaire advisor Elon Musk and several prominent Republican figures, including Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick and U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan, Trump watched the championship matches from a prime seating area. As the night progressed, he moved closer to the mat, personally congratulating the victorious wrestlers.
