Donald Trump and his political entourage attended game five of the World Series Sunday night in Washington, DC, and if Trump was expecting a warm reception by his adoring public, he must have been sorely disappointed. When Trump and his group were acknowledged the stadium erupted in boos and chants of "Lock him up!" The indignation of the crowd was loud, so loud in fact that it was heard not only throughout the stadium and in the Presidential Box, but around the world as every news outlet - except Fox - broadcast the humiliating rebuke. Fox apparently made a business decision to edit out the noise and insults.
A normal person who had at least some self-awareness of the havoc that he was creating with his daily tantrums and violations of law would have been expecting some sort of negative public reaction when he dared to appear in a major public setting like a World Series game, but Trump seemed surprised at the strength and depth of the hostility that was shown toward him. For the rest of the evening, every time the Trump party appeared on the Jumbotron, more boos and cat calls ensued. The crowd was as fired up by Trump's presence as they were at having the hometown team playing in the World Series.
Accompanying Trump to the World Series game were his clothes-horse wife, Melania, Senate Majority Leader Moscow Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham (the flower of the Senate), and Representatives Kevin McCarthy (the Majority Leader in the House), Mark Meadows, Liz Cheney, and Official House Clown Matt Gaetz.
Noticeably absent from the group was Trump's thirteen-year-old son, Barron, leading some to question why Trump would drag a squad of Republican politicians to a ballgame, but neglect to bring along his son, a boy who might have actually enjoyed getting to see a World Series game.
Some commentators have criticized Sunday night's crowd for their impolite behavior toward Donald Trump, suggesting that the office of President should be respected even if the occupant of the office is a bloated, bigoted, buttload of baloney. Others, however, argued that the President is a servant of the people - and if the President refuses to acknowledge that principle by occasionally humbling himself before the people, then it is up to the people to do it for him.
Sunday night thousands of people in a baseball stadium in Washington, DC, stuck pins into th gas bag that is Donald Trump - and if he wasn't humbled, he should have been! Of course the sting of humiliation was lessened somewhat by the circle of old white men that he brought along to prop himself up and to help drown out the noise of the rabble.
And then he raced home to watch the sanitized replay on Fox!
The Washington Nationals went on to lose Sunday night's fifth game of the World Series to the Houston Astros by a score of seven to one. Chances are Matt Gaetz didn't even notice.
