"There were loud 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. Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field enlistment ceremony during the break in the game."
"Only two other times did a president go to an NFL game during the regular season while in office, according to the league: Richard Nixon in 1969 and Jimmy Carter in 1978. Trump became the first president at a Super Bowl while residing in the White House when he watched the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in February."
President Donald Trump attended the Washington Commanders' regular-season game against the Detroit Lions, the first sitting president at a regular-season NFL game in decades. Spectators booed when he appeared on the videoboard and again when he was introduced at halftime while standing in a suite with House Speaker Mike Johnson. He read an oath for enlistees during an on-field military enlistment ceremony. Trump arrived on Air Force One after a stadium flyover, told reporters "We're gonna have a good game," chatted with Fox broadcasters about his high school football experience, and left before the game ended.
