Trump honors national champion Alabama during White House visit
For the fifth time since Nick Saban took over as head coach, Alabama made the trip to the White House to be honored as national champion.
While Saban is certainly becoming a regular at the historic residence, this is the team's first visit since President Trump took office last year.

Trump attended the national championship game in January, even taking the field during the national anthem.
After cracking some jokes with the players, the 45th president had some fun with the legendary coach, even taking a shot at his former school, LSU, during his address.
President Donald Trump to Nick Saban: “Was it five or six (national championships)? I thought it was six.”

Saban: “Five here and one at LSU.”
Trump: “They shouldn’t have let you go, coach. They’re thinking about that.”
