President Donald Trump attends sporting events more often than most presidents do, and at most of them — especially MMA fights — he receives a mixed reception, or is cheered. That wasn’t the case on Sunday, when the president appeared at Northwest Stadium, the Washington Commanders’ stadium in Maryland. It was the first appearance by a sitting president at an NFL regular-season game since 1978, although Trump attended the Super Bowl earlier this year.

Maybe it was because it’s a blue state, in the suburbs of the even bluer city of Washington, D.C., or perhaps it was because Trump, earlier in the week, had reportedly indicated that he will demand the Commanders name their new stadium in Washington, set to open in 2030, after him. But Trump was greeted largely by boos when he appeared at the game.

Call to Activism zoomed in on Trump’s reaction, and he appeared rather unhappy:

“There were loud boos from some spectators in the stands when Trump was shown on the videoboard late in the first half — standing in a suite with House Speaker Mike Johnson — and again when the president was introduced by the stadium announcer at halftime,” the AP wrote about the crowd reaction when the president appeared. “The jeering continued while Trump read an oath for members of the military to recite as part of an on-field enlistment ceremony during the break in the game.”

Also during the game, the president joined the game’s announcers for several minutes during the live broadcast.

There were some amused reactions online to the president’s facial expression, after the booing. And leading the mockery was the “Press office” account of California Gov. Gavin Newsom:
