"I'm a little bit late, Trump told reporters when he got off Air Force One."
"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."
"I heard Trump was going to be [here], St Brown said. I don't know how many times the president's going to be at the game, so just decided to have some fun."
Donald Trump attended the Detroit Lions' regular-season win over the Washington Commanders, becoming the first sitting president in nearly 50 years to do so. Large sections of the crowd booed while others cheered as he appeared on stadium screens and was introduced at halftime. The Washington area’s strong Democratic support and recent federal cuts affecting local workers contributed to the hostile reception. The jeering continued during an on-field military oath reading. Trump arrived after kickoff following an Air Force One flyover, made comments about the government shutdown, and received televised airtime, joining a broadcast booth and commenting on the game.
