On his first day back in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump signed executive orders focused on border security and addressed the nation, including a special message for those watching the Notre Dame vs. Ohio State college football national championship game.

Having just been inaugurated as the 47th President, Trump acknowledged the historic day while expressing his inability to attend the game in person. He conveyed a message of renewed hope and national pride, emphasizing his commitment to strengthening America and restoring its global standing. His message touched on themes of peace, prosperity, and putting America first.

Reflecting on the post-election period, Trump highlighted the positive energy and optimism he's observed across the country. He also addressed the players directly, acknowledging their hard work and dedication throughout the season, encouraging them to compete fiercely and fairly.

Vice President JD Vance's apparent satisfaction with Ohio State's halftime lead added a touch of levity to the occasion.
