NEW YORK – President Donald Trump saluted the national anthem Thursday night at Yankee Stadium, receiving a good hand from the Bronx faithful in the process.
Trump arrived in New York shortly after 6 p.m. ET and was spotted in his suite on the third base side less than an hour later.
It was a mostly positive crowd toward Trump on the 24th anniversary of Sept. 11, with moderate boos. The president heard loud “USA” chants before and after the anthem.

A faint “F— Joe Biden” chant was heard, but it was quickly drowned out.
The ovation came after Trump visited the Yankees in the home clubhouse, where he shook hands and had extensive chats with Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe.

Fans were urged by the Yankees to take public transportation to the game and arrive early. Gates opened three hours before the game. Normally, gates open 90 minutes beforehand.
Trump was in a suite with Yankees team owner Hal Steinbrenner and president Randy Levine after being at the Pentagon for a 9/11 ceremony early Thursday.
In his first at-bat after meeting Trump, who complimented his power and muscles, Judge hit a solo homer 110 mph off the bat.

It was the first time Trump attended a baseball game since the 2021 World Series, roughly a year after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. The last time he was at an MLB game as a sitting president was the 2019 Fall Classic.
