Trump met with mixed response as he attends NFL game during record shutdown before claiming ‘prices are coming way down’
Trump booed by crowd during NFL game
- President Donald Trump attended a Washington Commanders NFL game, marking the first time a sitting president had done so in nearly 50 years.
- He arrived late after Air Force One performed a flyover and was interviewed, claiming the nation was “doing great” and “prices are coming way down” despite an ongoing government shutdown.
- During a military swearing-in ceremony at half-time, the crowd responded to Trump with a mix of boos and scattered cheers.
- The shutdown had delayed or disrupted benefits for nearly 42 million Americans relying on food stamps and caused thousands of flight cancellations.
- Reports suggest Trump is keen for the Commanders' new stadium to be named after him, having previously threatened to derail the project over the team's name change.
