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.

President Trump issued a sharp warning, claiming that China is “completely taking over” Canada and using it as a “drop-off port” to bypass U.S. trade duties. He threatened to impose a 100% tariff on all Canadian goods if trade ties between Ottawa and Beijing continue to deepen. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney pushed back, saying the recent agreement with China only addresses specific sector-based tariffs, not a broader shift in alignment. Despite those assurances, tensions between the U.S., Canada, and China remain high as trade and geopolitical pressures continue to escalate.
