Auburn’s Bruce Pearl reacts to Trump winning election: ‘He will work for all Americans’

Bruce Pearl has never been shy about speaking his mind when it comes to politics.

The day after president-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election over Kamala Harris was no different.

"President Trump won big because more Americans believed he will fix inflation, secure our border, support legal immigration, bring peace to the world through strength and put America first," the Auburn coach posted on "X," the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "I pray, and I believe he will work for all Americans, uniting us as one nation under God!"

Pearl has company in Auburn.

The Loveliest Village on The Plains celebrated the Trump victory with the tradition of rolling Toomer's Corner . The historic victory avenged Trump's loss in the 2020 election.

It isn't the first time students rolled Toomer's for a reason other than Auburn athletics. In January, in the hours after news broke of legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban being set to retire, Auburn fans flung toilet paper on the branches to celebrate .

Toomer's Corner is, obviously, named for Toomer's Drugs, the business that occupies one of the four corners of the main downtown square. Other businesses may come and go, but the things that remain are Toomer's Drugs and the entrance to the Auburn University campus, located diagonally from one another.
