Gunner is a big star and a really talented quarterback. But I heard, much more importantly, he’s a Trump fan. So he was standing at the plane.

Donald Trump said

When invited to speak a few words by the President, Stockton stepped forward and raved about the opportunity of meeting the leader of the free world.

This is a great opportunity just to meet a president and Donald Trump. This is an awesome experience, and I’m just glad to be here.

Stockton said on the mic

Stockton committed to Georgia in 2022 and opted to redshirt his freshman year. The following two seasons, he served as Carson Beck‘s backup and won a CFP title. Beck left for Miami ahead of the 2025 college football season, leaving the door open for Stockton to become QB1.

In three active years in Georgia, Stockton has accumulated 3482 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, along with 512 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. According to a February 9 article by Athlon Sports, Stockton will return to play for the Dawgs in 2026.

Trump said,

I’m looking at these two guys, they’re like steel. I’m hitting them in the shoulders, and it’s like my hand isn’t the same. They’re like steel.

As the air filled with applause, Trump gave Walker the center stage. “This is the president right here that’s gonna go down in history as one of the greatest presidents the United States has ever had,” Walker said. The former Cowboys player added that he has known Trump since 1983 and will “always fight for him.”

President Trump gives an honest reply to being labeled as racist

President Trump used Black History Month reception at White House on Wednesday to defend himself from being labeled as a racist. The 79-year-old stated that he can’t be called a racist because he has many Black friends.

Mike Tyson. He has been loyal to me. Whenever they come out and they say Trump is a racist, Mike goes he’s not a racist. Lawrence Taylor is a great friend.

Trump declared

Those are very influential friends to have in his corner. Then again, the consensus thinks otherwise, and his public friendship with convicted s*x offender Jeffrey Epstein doesn’t really help his case.
