Overview
- Trump attended the Washington–Detroit matchup at Northwest Stadium, the first regular-season NFL game attended by a sitting president since 1978.
- Large sections of the crowd booed when he appeared on the video board and again at halftime as he led an on-field enlistment ceremony, with pool reports noting thumbs-down and hostile gestures.
- He watched from a suite with team owner Josh Harris and House Speaker Mike Johnson before briefly joining Fox Sports’ booth to reminisce about playing football and to call a play.
- Air Force One flew over the stadium prior to his arrival at Joint Base Andrews, which Trump hailed to reporters as the “greatest flyover ever.”
- Karoline Leavitt said naming a future Commanders stadium for Trump “would surely be a beautiful name,” following ESPN’s report that White House intermediaries approached the ownership about naming rights.
