Donald Trump attended the Washington Commanders’ 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions, becoming the first sitting president in nearly half a century at a regular-season NFL game. Boos erupted when he appeared on the videoboard and again at halftime, where he led an enlistment oath. After arriving late via Joint Base Andrews, he joined Fox’s booth to reminisce about high school football and said he’s helping secure approvals for a “beautiful” stadium as the team plans a return to Washington. Watching with senior officials, he left before the finish, as reactions ranged from jeers to playful tributes and praise.
