Trump declares fire stories 'fake news' after 82nd Airborne descends onto university of Notre Dame
NOTRE DAME, Ind. — Students at the University of Notre Dame witnessed a spectacular display today as they looked up into the sky —thousands of paratroopers rained over the campus before securing the area for none other than the commander-in-chief, sources confirmed.
"Most of us just stopped in our tracks and stared," said one student. "Were we being invaded? I dunno, the whole thing was surreal. Some people were freaking out."
President Donald Trump ordered soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division, a unit celebrated for its role in Normandy during World War II, to save the university after news stories of a blazing fire began to surface.
