Donald Trump knows how to work a crowd. But this is mind blowing.
As Trump makes a major public appearance and gets a response that you have to see to believe.
President Trump brought his winning energy to Yankee Stadium on Thursday, firing up the New York Yankees with a motivational huddle that propelled them to a dominant victory over the Detroit Tigers. With the commander-in-chief in the house, the Bronx Bombers turned up the heat and delivered a performance that had fans roaring.
“You’re gonna win. You’re gonna go all the way,” Trump declared to the team in the clubhouse, setting the stage for what would become a powerhouse showing on the field.
Star slugger Aaron Judge wasted no time channeling that presidential boost, smashing his 45th home run of the season right in the first inning—mere minutes after gripping Trump’s hand.
Not content with one blast, Judge followed up with his 46th homer just two innings later, proving the magic of that pre-game encounter.
“You have that much muscle, you have to hit the ball perfect,” Trump told Judge beforehand. “You’re a fantastic player. … You’re an unbelievable player.”
The president made his rounds, shaking hands with key players and even putting his signature on at least one autograph, turning the clubhouse into a hub of excitement.
Yankees pitcher Fernando Cruz, caught in just a towel as Trump arrived, got a quick nudge from teammates to suit up, adding a light-hearted moment to the visit.
On a day that marked the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Trump arrived with a group of congressional allies and administration heavyweights, receiving a heartfelt welcome from the packed crowd.
As the national anthem played, the stadium video board captured Trump saluting the American flag, drawing thunderous cheers mixed with a faint chorus of boos from the usual critics.
Patriotic chants of “USA, USA” erupted throughout the stands.
In the second inning, public address announcer Paul Olden gave a fitting tribute: “The New York Yankees welcome back to Yankee Stadium the 45th and 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, on the solemn anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.”
From the secure Steinbrenner family suite, shielded by triple layers of bulletproof glass, Trump soaked in the action alongside Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner and team president Randy Levine.
With security ramped up for the occasion, fans were advised to arrive early, and sharp-eyed observers from the New York Post noted Secret Service personnel positioned high in the stands and on nearby rooftops, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
The suite buzzed with conservative firepower, including Republican representatives like Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota, Nicole Malliotakis, and Elise Stefanik, all standing strong with their leader.
Trump’s team was well-represented too, with Attorney General Pam Bondi, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte joining the president for the game.
Adding to the star power, conservative icon Bill O’Reilly was spotted in deep conversation with Trump, later quipping to reporters, “I almost got arrested,” after a mix-up with barriers outside the stadium.
In a city often dominated by left-wing noise, moments like these show that real patriotism and winning attitudes still hold sway in the hearts of true Americans.
