Trump Went Out To the Ballgame And Got Booed

Well, the Washington Nationals might be down one game against the Houston Astros in the World Series, but their fans won the hearts of many on Twitter late Sunday evening. National Park, the home of the Washington Nationals, hosted Game 5 of the World Series last night, and during a mid-inning shoutout to U.S. Service Members, President Trump and First Lady Melania
Trump were introduced to their fellow Washington D.C. crowd. Seated among them watching the game were Sen. Lindsey Graham and Reps. Steve Scalise and Matt Gaetz.

However, after the teleprompter displayed his face, the crowd responded with a chorus of boos, followed up with a chant of "lock him up!" Naturally, the video went viral the minute it was posted on Twitter, with many people commending the crowd for actively voicing their opposition to the President who is currently on the brink of impeachment. The video clearly demonstrates that the President was not expecting the crowd's reaction, especially after announcing to the media early Sunday morning that United States forces had killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a raid organized by his administration.

Then came the chants of "lock him up!"

There was even a banner promoting impeachment at the game.

#TrumpBooed and thousands at World Series chanting #LockHimUp is a reminder that despite the ISIS leader being killed, it still doesn't change that Trump is a failed president, a criminal and a vile person who despicably uses racism, bigotry and sexism as a political weapon

Can we please all agree that this experiment of having a dumb TV host and shady real estate developer with no government knowledge, 6 bankruptcies, 5 kids from 3 marriages, 23 charges of sexual assault, and 35,000 lawsuits as president is not going well at all? #LockHimUp

Users were quick to point out how much the audience applauded and respected veterans when they were introduced.

The crowd supports our veterans and boos our criminal President. If only elected Republicans would do the same. #TrumpBooed #LockHimUp pic.twitter.com/Nh6ujEshiT

Several even took a guess at what excuses Trump would tweet about following his chilly reception.

Can’t wait for Trump to say the Democrats hires actors to attend the World Series and boo him. #LockHimUp #TrumpBooed

Others joked that Melania Trump was the one who started the "lock him up" chant.

"When I started the Lock Him Up! chant under my breath at the World Series I never dreamed the entire stadium would join in, because it's just something I do at home while he's asleep. Finally I'm feeling such love from the American people"#LockHimUp pic.twitter.com/2lzQtBALg6

Some took the time to point out that voting him out of office is the preferred democratic action.

Booing y'alls president is cute, Bringing that same energy to the polls & not vote for him again is better.JS.

Of course, many users were disappointed by the actions of the crowd in choosing to boo the President of the United States, finding it to be extremely uncouth and disrespectful.

 

Did the swamp really chant #LockHimUp in reference to the President who gave the order to get the vicious leader of Isis, Baghdadi? That’s a special kind of stupid!

After booing our President, I hope the Nationals lose the World Series. Let’s go Astros!

Joe And Mika addressed the crowd's reaction on Morning Joe this morning, calling the chants "un-American."

"We are Americans and we do not do that. We do not want the world hearing us chant 'Lock him up' to this president or to any president." -- JoeNBC pic.twitter.com/9IgMCETBdn

I cannot emphasize this enough:Booing the president of the United States the same day he announces we’ve killed the leader of ISIS is completely un-American and childish.

Twitter's reactions to Joe and Mika's words were not as sympathetic.

Sorry Joe, but that #LockHimUp chant at last night's Nationals game – was EVERYTHING we were hoping for when the Mueller report was finally released – times a THOUSAND!

These two low lifer's Joe and Mika were A ok when the chants of lock her up against Hillary were taking place at every event. Sorry Joe but Trump is a fraud and criminal and belongs in big ugly prison. #LockHimUp

Crowds also booed Herbert Hoover at the World Series in 1931 because of the Great Depression. Baseball fans booing fuck up presidents is as American as it gets. https://t.co/I1NmnNJTUh

After noticing the President did not bring his 13-year-old son to the game, "Barron" began to trend with many asking why he was left at home.

Barron Trump didn't go to the World Series game with his dad.Reliable sources are saying that he preferred staying home where he participated in his favorite pastime, sticking pins in his Donald Trump voodoo doll. pic.twitter.com/EApE4H0s54

Nothing anyone says about Barron Trump is as fucked up as his dad taking local drunk Matt Gaetz to the World Series instead of him.

— Jonny’sAwakening64 (@SuperJonny64) October 28, 2019

 

From what I understand, #barrontrump plays competitive soccer – and has school tomorrow, which may also involve…a soccer game. Leave him alone about the World Series. Or is that the best you’ve got tonight against his Dad?

The President was seen leaving at the top of the 8th inning last night, and did not discuss the game with the media this morning. However, he did mention wanting to release video snippets of the Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi raid.

This is an attempt to continue the reality-TV drama after a night of boos and #LockHimUp chants. https://t.co/g1whteLOmd
