Things got heated in the stands during the Detroit Lions vs. Washington Commanders game in suburban D.C., when former President Donald Trump made a surprise appearance. As he walked into the stadium surrounded by heavy security, fans erupted — but it wasn’t all cheers.
Videos that quickly went viral showed a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some supporters applauded and chanted his name, but others booed loudly and even flipped the middle finger in his direction. The moment spread across social media within minutes, sparking intense debate among fans and political commentators alike.
Trump, appearing unfazed, waved to the crowd as cameras caught the contrasting emotions — some fans snapping photos in excitement, others making their disapproval crystal clear. The moment perfectly captured how divisive Trump remains, even at a football game that was supposed to be about touchdowns, not politics.
It wasn’t the first time Trump attended an NFL event, but this one definitely had a bit more edge. Between the Lions’ dominance on the field and the fireworks in the stands, the atmosphere at FedExField was anything but ordinary.
