"There were boos from some spectators in the stands when Trump was shown on the videoboard late in the first half - standing in a suite with House Speaker Mike Johnson - and again when the president was introduced by the stadium announcer at halftime. The jeering continued while Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field ceremony during the break in the game."
""I'm a little bit late," Trump told reporters earlier when he got off Air Force One after landing at Joint Base Andrews, following a flyover of Northwest Stadium during the game. He then got in his armored car for the drive to the arena. "We're gonna have a good game. Things are going along very well. The country's doing well. The Democrats have to open it up," he said - a reference to the government shutdown."
"In the first quarter Sunday, before the president arrived, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown celebrated a touchdown catch by pointing into the stands and moving his arms a la the " Trump dance " that several athletes began doing last year. The White House said several cabinet secretaries and Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana also were scheduled to attend."
Spectators booed President Trump when he appeared on the videoboard and again when the stadium announcer introduced him at halftime. Jeering continued as Trump read an oath for military members during an on-field ceremony. After a flyover of the stadium, Trump told reporters he was late. He said, “We're gonna have a good game” and urged Democrats to “open it up,” referencing the government shutdown. Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown mimicked the “Trump dance” after an earlier touchdown. An intermediary reportedly told Commanders' ownership that Trump wants the club's new stadium to bear his name; press secretary Karoline Leavitt called that “a beautiful name.”
