On a brisk Sunday evening at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, 68,000 fans packed Acrisure Stadium to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the New York Jets. The crowd roared and 'Terrible Towels' swirled over the heads of the fans as the home team took the field. But there was something different about some of those towels. What exactly do those towels say?
TRENDING: #Steelers fans are handing out Donald Trump Terrible Towels at the pregame tailgates.

Donald Trump, who spent the weekend campaigning in Pennsylvania, attended the game. He's riding a winning streak after a Saturday rally in Latrobe and picking up a side gig at McDonalds. So why not take in a game?
A lot happens before a football game, and Team Trump was ready.
First, Elon Musk held a pep rally at a local Pittsburgh school, with a Terrible Towel of his own in hand.

With the pep rally in the books, it's time for the tailgate party.
Trump will be making an appearance at the Jets/Steelers game tonight in Pittsburg, and the tailgate is essentially a Trump rally.

The Steelers won 37-15. It was almost as if they had a 12th player on the field.
Le'Veon took the over. We should have too!

It's the two-minute warning, the game is tied, and Team Trump has the ball. They have the momentum and they're driving. Can they get the ball across the goalline? If the performance in Pittsburgh is any indication, they're well on the way!
