GAME ON! President Trump made an appearance for a “Salute to Service” NFL game Sunday between the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders.

## GAME ON! Donald Trump Makes a High-Profile Appearance at the Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions Game

On Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025, President Donald Trump attended a regular-season NFL game between the Washington Commanders and the Detroit Lions as part of the league’s annual **“Salute to Service”** initiative. ([Daily Express US][1])

### Why this matters

* He became the **first sitting U.S. president in nearly 50 years** to attend a regular-season NFL game — the last being Jimmy Carter in 1978. ([Connecticut Post][2])
* The game at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland was part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service” weekend, which honours the nation’s veterans, active-duty service members and their families. ([FOX 5 DC][3])

### What happened

Trump was seated in the owner’s suite of the Commanders with the team’s managing partner, Josh Harris, and arrived amid heightened security protocols. ([Connecticut Post][2])
At halftime, special tribute activities under the “Salute to Service” banner took place, with Trump’s presence adding an extra spotlight. ([Daily Express US][1])

### Context & background

President Trump has had a mixed relationship with the NFL. During his previous term in office he criticized players who knelt for the national anthem and clashed publicly with aspects of the league’s policies. ([Connecticut Post][2])
His appearance at this game signals a deliberate effort to align himself with high-visibility cultural and sporting events, especially those tied to patriotic or military-honouring themes. ([AS USA][4])

### Takeaways

* The “Salute to Service” branding helps frame the appearance as more than just a sporting outing — it folds in themes of patriotism and service.
* With the heightened attention on Trump at the game, the event transcended purely athletics and became part spectacle, part political optics.
* For the NFL and the Commanders, the presence of a sitting president at a regular-season game offers increased media interest and visibility.
* On the flip side, such appearances carry the risk of polarizing fan reaction, especially given Trump’s divisive public profile.

If you like, I can pull some of the fan and media reactions (both cheers and boos) from the event.
