The stadium went HAYWIRE as Trump entered, followed by a powerful, emotional rendition of the National Anthem — which Trump saluted in full view of the crowd.
🇺🇸 Pure patriotism.

This appearance marks President Trump’s sixth time attending the Army-Navy game. He first attended as President-Elect in 2016, returned in 2024, and has been present three times during his presidency, demonstrating his commitment to honoring the men and women of both academies.
By contrast, Joe Biden did not attend any Army-Navy games while serving as President, only attending once as Vice President to a notably subdued reception. Barack Obama attended the game just once during his presidency.
