For the second time in less than a week, President Donald Trump met with shouts of booing on the part of the public during his appearance on a sporting event.

According to a network CNN The audience received Trump with shouts of booing and chants of the “United States of America” ​​when he appeared on the giant screen on the stadium while playing the national anthem in the baseball match between the New York Yanxiz and Detroit Tigerers.

The network said that Trump met the trends with a slight smile, noting that this is the second time during this week that Trump faces conflict chants in a sporting event in New York, after he was subjected to a similar situation while attending the United States Open in Queens, last Sunday.

The security inspection procedures caused Trump’s presence in the delay in thousands of fans to reach their seats, and the Yanxiz team urged the fans to attend 3 hours before the Thursday match to avoid repeating this.

In the wake of the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kerk, a supporter of Trump, on Wednesday, a source of CNN stated that additional security measures will be taken at and around the Bronx Stadium, including security inspection at all entrances and additional measures on the platform where Trump will see the match.

The queues at Arthur Ash Stadium were one of the reasons for not attending many presidents, as their presence requires more security inspection, which may spoil the preparations of the match.

The scenes of the attendees

According to the agency «Associated PressTrump attended the New York Yanxiz team victory over the Detroit Tigerers team 9-3 on Thursday evening, which coincided with the commemoration of the twenty-fourth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

The authorities have installed a security glass for the president outside the box wing on the upper floor of the Steinbriner family, which owns the Yanxiz team, on the side of the third base over the tigers seat at the Yanki Stadium.

Trump sat next to the team’s team president, Randy Levin, and exchanged with him the conversation throughout the match, although he was sitting alone at other times.

During the national anthem, the president’s image was shown on the giant stadium screen, and he received shouts from some attendees, and chants from others.

Trump was intended with an attack at the end of the first half, where he stood and applauded, as did the members of the accompanying delegation, including Public Prosecutor Bam Bondi, Walla Zeladen, a former New York Congress member who is now the head of the Environmental Protection Agency.

In the second half, Trump’s presence was announced, and he appeared on the big screen for a long time while playing the song “Greetings to the leader”, so he smiled and raised his grip, while shouts were heard at first, but many of the attendees were at the end.

The president left shortly after the seventh half, which witnessed the singing of the song “God bless America”, as was the custom in the matches of the Yanxiz team on September 11, in addition to the song “Take me to the match”.

Trump appeared on the big screen three times in a row, and the broadcaster said: “Welcome to your return, son of New York, forty -fifth and forty -seventh president, and thanked Trump.

And between the crowd in Bronx, which reached nearly 41,000 people, some chanted “America! Some also fired trends, and the shouts intensified every time Trump appeared.

Before the start of the match, Trump visited Yanxiz. He shook hands with the players and members of the technical staff, and he talked about his close relationship for many years with the late George Steinburn, the owner of the old team. He referred to his attendance of the team’s matches with Steinbrinner previously, saying: “We were winning whenever I came.”

Captain Aaron Jadge described Trump’s meeting as a “surreal moment”, which inspired him and his teammates. “We made a great offer. He came to us, and told us that we will win, so I think that gave everyone confidence in this hall to get out and win. I think we should continue to be with us more,” Jadag said.

Strong security measures

Presidential visits always require strict security measures in sports events, but security measures have increased after the assassination of Charlie Kerk, conservative activist and close Trump ally, in Utah on Wednesday.

When Trump attended the anniversary of the September 11th anniversary in the Pentagon earlier on Thursday, the authorities moved the ceremony as an additional precaution.

In the presence of Trump, all the stadium entrances were equipped with metal detectors and secret service agents, some of them with police dogs, while New York Police’s helicopters were flying over them.

The authorities opened the gates three hours before the start of the first match, and long lines began to form before that, although most of the fans entered the stadium smoothly. The Yanxiz team urged ticket holders to attend as soon as possible. The Secret Service Authority also asked the fans to leave their bags in their homes.

The rapid speed of the movement of queues was a radical difference from Trump’s appearance in the final of the United States Open Men’s Championship in Queens at the end of last week. This led to the crowds of security for a long time, to the point that some fans were unable to reach their seats until more than an hour has passed since the start of the match, although the organizers postponed their start for 30 minutes.

Trump and sports

It is noteworthy that Trump made sport an essential part of his second term, whether during his election campaign or through his frequent presence of major events.

The Yanxiz match is the eighth main sporting event that Trump has attended since his return to the White House in January. Trump attended the Super Paul match in New Orleans, the Daytona 500 race, the UFC Final Championship matches in Miami and Niger, New Jersey, the University Wrestling Championship (NCAA) in Philadelphia, and the FIFA World Cup FIFA FIFA FIFA FIFA FIFA Final in East Rothrord, New Jersey, and the US Open (US Open) match held last weekend.

Trump was born in the Queens neighborhood of New York, and although he lived in Florida in recent years, Caroline Levitt, the White House press secretary, said that the president “is still New York in essence.” However, Trump’s participation in baseball matches was not permanently welcome from the fans.

During his first term in 2019, Trump tried to appear modestly during the Washington National match against Houston Astros in the World Championship, but he was met with widespread shouts when it was shown on the big stadium screen. Some even fired chants “Habit it!”
