Trump Booed at World Series

Donald Trump once claimed he was courted by several major league baseball clubs in his youth but turned them down because they couldn’t offer him enough money. Of course that was a lie.

Nevertheless, the President attended Game 5 of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros at Nationals Park, a short journey from the White House.  When Trump was shown on the video screens in the stadium he was loudly booed by fans. 

Following the boos, cries of “Lock him up!” rang out, a reference to the chants about Hillary Clinton used at Trump’s rallies in the run-up to the 2016 presidential elections.  Footage of the incident swept through Twitter, showing the moment that fans inside the stadium changed from cheering to booing.

Veterans for Impeachment also staked out a high visibility site for their message during the game-- right behind home plate.


A blue sign, reading “Veterans for Impeachment,” managed to grab national audience views when the cameras trained on batters at Nationals Park.  The sign also appeared on the Jumbotron in the stadium where Donald Trump watched the game.  At later innings of the game, impeach signs also managed to appear in several parts of the outfield.  Trump left the game early.
