Knoxville is going to be loud on Saturday. President Trump will be right in the middle of it, taking in Tennessee and top-ranked Texas at Neyland Stadium. That might look like a small thing. It isn't. Washington is a bubble, and the people inside it mostly forget the rest of the country exists. Trump remembers. Showing up in a packed stadium with the marching band, the checkerboard end zones, and a sea of orange is a different kind of politics. It's the kind that doesn't need a teleprompter.
There will be plenty of people calling it a stunt. They'll say he should be studying briefing books or working the phones. They miss the point.
