Donald Trump had quite the experience at Northwest Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
His day started with his Air Force plane flying over Northwest Stadium before the Washington Commanders-Detroit Lions game, which received mixed reactions.
After scoring a touchdown in the first quarter, Lions star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown pointed to Donald Trump‘s suite and performed his signature dance. Trump would then head to the broadcasting booth and actually call a few plays, one of which was a Commanders’ touchdown.
It got pretty bad for him after that.
As part of a halftime ceremony, Donald Trump read the Oath of Enlistment to on-field service members from his luxury suite.
Footage from the stands showed that he was basically drowned out as thousands of fans could be heard booing him.
When fans saw him in the suite above, he found himself getting a mix of different hand gestures as some Commanders fans waved while others gave him the finger.
Donald Trump Wants Stadium Named After Him
President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their new stadium after him, according to a report by ESPN.
“It’s what the president wants, and it will probably happen,” a senior White House official told ESPN.
The White House added that naming a new Washington Commanders football stadium after President Donald Trump would be “beautiful.”
The planned $3.7 billion stadium will be constructed on the site of the former RFK Stadium, which is currently undergoing demolition. The stadium won’t be opened until 2030.
President Joe Biden signed a bill in 2024 to transfer land, which included that old stadium, from the federal government to the city.
In July, Trump threatened to hold up the deal by insisting that the team change its name from the Commanders back to the Redskins.
Trump attended the Commanders’ game on Sunday, which honored American veterans.
