Donald Trump faced a hostile reception during his visit to World Series Game 5, where he watched the Houston Astros go up against the Washington Nationals. Despite his effort to keep a low profile, he was met with a chorus of boos and chants of “Lock him up!” from the crowd.
Trump attended the game with family members and some congressional guests, but their presence went unannounced until the third inning. That’s when a tribute to U.S. service members led to the Jumbotron showing the Trump family, prompting cheers to quickly turn into boos and chants directed at the President. Fans even displayed a banner that read “Impeach Trump,” adding to the intense atmosphere.
This reaction mirrors the “Lock her up” chants Trump has often led against his political adversaries, particularly Hillary Clinton. With an impeachment inquiry currently unfolding in Congress, the chants against him carry a weight that was absent during his own rallies. Interestingly, it’s unusual for Trump’s team to allow him to attend events where he might face negative reactions, which likely explains his attempts to blend into the background. Reports indicate he turned down an offer to throw the first pitch, citing security concerns that could disrupt fans.
While Trump smiled and waved at the crowd, seemingly unaffected by the backlash, he has yet to address the incident on social media, which is quite out of character for him. The implications of the ongoing impeachment inquiry remain uncertain, especially with the 2020 election looming on the horizon. Is this reception a harbinger of shifting public sentiment? Only time will tell.
