The newest members of the military were at Northwest Stadium as part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service” festivities ahead of Veterans Day. Trump was seen at the stadium reading names over the stadium’s public address system.

However, boos from Commanders fans were heard. NFL fans who watched Trump during halftime of the game took issue with the boss, saying it was disrespectful to those who were going to protect the United States from its enemies.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown scored a touchdown and performed Trump’s iconic dance move in the end zone. The score came before Trump arrived in Landover, Maryland, for the game.

Trump received a mix of cheers and boos as he arrived at the stadium from Mar-a-Lago. He spent the morning playing golf and demanding that Democrats end the government shutdown.
Before leaving Landover, he spent time in the FOX broadcast booth calling the game with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma.
Commanders welcomed Trump to the stadium days before the game.

“We are honored to welcome President Trump to this game as we celebrate those who have served and continue to serve our country,” Commanders club president Mark Clouse said earlier this week. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active duty military personnel and their families this Sunday.”
