President Trump attends Astros-Nationals World Series game, gets booed by Washington D.C. crowd

Just before the Washington Nationals arrived back in Washington D.C. after winning the first two games of the 2019 World Series, President Donald Trump announced he would be attending Game 5 between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros.

In the lead up to Trump’s appearance, there was much speculation of how things would go down with the embattled Commander in Chief taking in a baseball game. There was even some speculation that Trump would throw out the first pitch, but that was squashed quickly as chef and local hero Jose Andres threw out the first pitch.

Attending the game with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were a group of vets, along with Lindsey Graham, Liz Cheney, Mark Meadows and Matt Gaetz among others.

Just before the start of the fourth inning, Trump was seen on the video board and a collective boo from the over 41,000 attendance in Nationals Park with sprinkled-in cheers from the crowd.
