President Donald Trump was in friendly territory at the CFP National Championship on Monday … with a loud applause breaking out when he was shown during the national anthem.

Nos. 45-47 hit Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for the Miami vs. Indiana matchup … and he brought Ivanka, Kai, and some more grandkids along for the ride.

Trump’s presence was felt early in the night … ’cause as “American Idol” star Jamal Roberts performed his rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner,” the cams cut to him on the big screens.

While Trump’s gotten cheers, boos and everything in between over the years, this is Florida we’re talking about … so naturally, those in attendance went nuts when he popped up for all to see.

The White House confirmed days ago Trump would soak in all the action in person … and as TMZ Sports reported, local officials beefed up security to make sure the night went off without a hitch.

That being said, lines to get into the stadium were pretty long hours before kickoff … but it looked like a packed house once things were underway.

Other notable attendees include Jake Paul, Tom Brady, DJ Khaled and Mark Cuban … so it was the place to be Monday night.
