Booing is an integral ritual of the baseball world, and this practice spares no one, not even American President Donald Trump.
On 27th October 2019, Trump showed up at Nationals Park to enjoy the match between Houston Astros and Washington Nationals in World Series’ Game 5. He was accompanied by his wife and other officials, who joined the crowd while the first innings were already underway.
It is fair to say that Trump’s popularity can be heard and seen by the crowd’s energy. As depicted by the videos below, the President was not only booed but also dictated to be locked up.

Interestingly, the crowd was very careful to point whom they were actually booing at. Notice how the booing stopped when the camera moved from Trump to other people.

Viewing these videos, Trump has quite an audience from the sports domain as well. However, if this response was surprising or called for, only President knows best.
