Donald Trump became the first sitting president in nearly 50 years to attend a regular-season NFL game, visiting the Washington Commanders’ matchup with the Detroit Lions. Boos, with scattered cheers, greeted his videoboard cameo and continued as he led a halftime military oath. He joined Fox’s broadcast, saying the country is doing well and Democrats should end the shutdown. ESPN reported he wants the planned Commanders stadium named for him, which he touted on air. He left early as Washington lost 44-22.
