Fans Boo President Trump at World Series Game 5, Chant 'Lock Him Up' | NBC New York

President Donald Trump's low-profile appearance Sunday night at Game 5 of the World Series came at a high-profile moment of his presidency. Yet he still drew loud boos and jeers when introduced to the crowd.

Wearing a dark suit and a tie, Trump arrived at Nationals Park just before the first pitch of the Houston Astros-Washington Nationals matchup. Hours earlier, he had announced that U.S. forces had assaulted the hiding place of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed in the raid in northeast Syria.

A military success against a most-wanted enemy of the U.S. and its allies could have provided the president a rare moment of bipartisan comity, especially amid a divisive impeachment inquiry.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump entered a lower-tier box to the left of home plate as the game got underweay. At that point his presence wasn't formally announced, but baseball fans in the section just below Trump's suite turned to look toward the box as he arrived. Some waved at the president as he smiled and gave a thumbs-up.

At the end of the third inning, ballpark video screens carried a salute to U.S. service members that drew cheers throughout the stadium. When the video cut to Trump and his entourage and the loudspeakers announced the Trumps, cheers abruptly turned into a torrent of boos and heckling. Chants of "Lock him up!" broke out in some sections.

I do so enjoy seeing a malignant narcissist suddenly confronted by a reality that drastically differs from its own fragile constructs.

LMAO I’m glad the Nationals won the World Series CONGRATS GUYS

[sketchca]

CLEARLY every person in that stadium was paid to boo him, right? I mean that is the line they spew, isn't it? All public demonstrators are paid actors?

[FunlandRobot]

I’m learning ASL and how to read lips to counsel deaf youth and the guy in front says when he looks back “clap hard”; telling trump keep going, please done walk away and make a scene because that’s worse.

[tdw]

Bahaha a whole 6 people!!! And that was an overlay not even real. I was there in person that didn't really happen! This is fabricated they were cheering him on and screaming let's go Brandon!!!!
