I find it infuriating. I know it is GA (and AL), but I hope Atlantans will let him know he's not universally welcome.

(79,302 posts)'Falling apart?' Trump's insults not forgotten in Atlanta
When President Donald Trump swoops into Atlanta for a VIP seat at college football's biggest game, he'll enjoy the Southern hospitality of a city he disparaged a year ago as "falling apart" and "crime infested."
The insults tweeted by Trump a week before his inauguration may seem like ancient history to most Americans who follow the president's voluminous stream of online invective. But Atlanta hasn't forgotten.
Trump plans to be among 72,000 attending the College Football Playoff Championship game Monday evening between Georgia and Alabama. The game is being held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the new $1.5 billion home field of the Atlanta Falcons.
The stadium sits in the heart of downtown Atlanta, a place Trump targeted in a pair of tweets Jan. 14 last year. He was punching back at Democratic Rep. John Lewis. The Atlanta congressman, a civil rights hero, had said he would skip Trump's inauguration after allegations of Russian election meddling caused him to doubt Trump "as a legitimate president."
