President Donald Trump greeted with boos at Game 5 of World Series, fans chant 'lock him up'

President Donald Trump was greeted with a thunderous chorus of boos from the sold-out crowd attendance at Game 5 of the World Series between the Nationals and Astros.

Trump, who showed up shortly after the first inning, was introduced to the crowd after the third inning during the Nationals' salute to veterans, a regular feature at Nats’ games.

As the next inning began, fans chanted "lock him up," a nod to the motto that Trump supporters directed at Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Trump must have gone ballistic knowing that this came after his morning announcement that the ISIS leader had been assassinated!

It’s hypocritical to give a draft dodger credit for what our brave men and women of the military actually carry out.

 

[inquiring mind]

Sounds to me as though the few boos (one guy must have been very close to a microphone) were quickly drowned out by crowd's cheers.

For anybody wanting to go straight to the video:

Trump should have attended a Houston home game instead. They might have been able to launch him into space while he was there.

Good idea. After all he's already called a space cadet, lol.

Oh stop! What President doesn't get acknowledge in their legacy for successful military campaigns? Did Clinton serve time in the military? Nope. Obama? Nope. The list of other US Presidents the same.

Yeah well regardless of how many boos there were and praise I don't think we could ever know for sure. No different than in an election though. Some people will like you and some people won't. I don't think anyone even Trump supporters would claim everyone likes him.

 

[Go Braves]

Quite the contrast from how President Obama was recently received!

The crowd cheered for the folks in military. They booed loudly and long for Donald. The "lock him up" chants weren't just coming from 1 or 2 folks. 40 second mark:

In the first video boos are quick and probably wouldn’t be heard at all if not so close to the phone, and are quickly drowned out with cheers from the crowd. It is also cutoff early to shorten the cheering portion. In the second video the ‘lock him up’ chant appears to be coming from one section, rather small and kids mostly (also close to phone)... if you will observe the rest of the crowd as the camera is panning. Sorry, I’ve seen this attempted too many times. Trump always wins the crowd wars. Even so, it wouldn't surprise me to hear from the 47% in any public crowd, especially when he is doing such a great job as president.

And then the home team lost. Again. So there’s that.

Oh stop!

I specifically said ‘draft dodger’! Try again.

The video on Fox didn't agree with your assessment of what occurred. There was a large blast of booes when Trump and other Republican figures were shown on the Jumbotron. This died down when the picture went back to the military men and women. The chant to lock him up was shown from different cameras around the stadium.

Trump always wins the crowd wars at his own political rallies. Lol. Then he struts off, doesn't bother to pay the cities for the costs of having the ego-fest for himself there. When it's not just the MAGA hatters he loses. Badly. Especially nowadays. The cheers were for the folks who didn't claim they had bone spurs and actually served the country. For the military. The boos for Donald were loud, from a big portion, and fully deserved. If you think it was children chanting "lock him out" then you need to get your hearing and sight checked.

I'll just leave this here:
Did President Trump Get Booed at the 2019 World Series?

U.S. President Donald Trump was roundly booed by the crowd at Game 5 of the World Series at National Park on Oct. 27, 2019. Reports about that show of disdain at the game between the Houston Astros and Washington Nationals prompted some to ask whether the event really happened.

Video of the crowd booing was posted by a number of witnesses, journalists and news organizations to social media. The crowd for the Sunday night game went from cheering the troops, to booing Trump, back to cheering the troops, when the presence of each was announced on the jumbotron:

Trump was confronted with more than just the boos and chants at the game. Veterans for Impeachment strategically bought tickets so camera footage of the home plate would capture the signs they unfurled.
