Overview
- At Northwest Stadium in Landover on Nov. 9, Trump became the first sitting president since 1978 to attend a regular-season NFL game.
- He presided over a Salute to Service enlistment ceremony at halftime, reading the Oath of Enlistment as boos—along with scattered cheers—were heard.
- During the third quarter, he joined FOX Sports commentators Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma, provided live commentary and was invited to call a play on air.
- ESPN reported that White House intermediaries raised the idea of naming the team’s planned D.C. stadium after Trump; the team has not confirmed any agreement and such naming would require approvals from the D.C. Council and National Park Service.
- Detroit defeated Washington 44–22, capping a night in which Trump’s presence drew repeated reactions from the crowd.
