During a rare low-key appearance at Game 5 of the World Series, Donald Trump experienced an unexpected reception from fans. Attending the game to see the Houston Astros battle the Washington Nationals, Trump attempted to blend in but was met with loud boos and chants of “Lock him up!” from the crowd.
Seated in a luxury box alongside family members and some Congressional guests, Trump’s presence went unnoticed until the third inning. It was during a tribute to U.S. service members that the Jumbotron focused on the Trump family, prompting an announcement. This shift in attention quickly turned cheers for the military into jeers directed at the former president, with the unmistakable chorus of “Lock him up!” echoing throughout the stadium. Additionally, some fans displayed a banner that read “Impeach Trump,” adding to the hostile atmosphere.
This moment stands out as a reversal of the “Lock her up” chants that Trump has spearheaded against his former rival Hillary Clinton for years. With an impeachment inquiry into his actions currently ongoing in Congress, the chants against him carry a heavier significance than they did in the past.
Uncharacteristically, Trump seemed to prefer a low profile and even declined an opportunity to throw the first pitch, citing security concerns that could disrupt other fans. While the crowd reacted negatively, Trump maintained a smile and waved, appearing unfazed by the backlash. Notably, he has yet to comment on the incident via social media, which is unusual for him.
As the impeachment inquiry continues to unfold, its implications for the upcoming election remain uncertain. Could Trump’s reception at the World Series signal a shift in public sentiment leading into the 2020 elections? Time will tell.
