President Trump embraced WashingtonNationals catcher Kurt Suzuki, a fourth generation Japanese-American, after he put on his MAGA hat during today's White House celebration WorldSeries2019
President Donald Trump on Monday welcomed what he called a record crowd on the South Lawn of the White House to celebrate the hometown Nationals’ first World Series title and the first World Series victory for the region in nearly a century.
Ryan Zimmerman, who was the franchise’s first draft pick in 2005 when it returned to Washington, presented Trump with a Nationals jersey with the No. 45"This is an incredible honor that I think all of us will never forget," he said. "We'd also like to thank you for keeping everyone here safe and our country. And continuing to make America the greatest country to live in the world.
His speech was punctuated with loud cheers as he brought up various Nats stars in attendance, including catcher Kurt Suzuki, who donned a signature “Make America Great Again” hat as Trump hugged him from behind in a moment thatWhen the audience broke out in chants of "four more years," Trump joked that they must have been rooting for four more World Series titles by the Nationals.
Visits to the White House by title-winning sports teams have become particularly fraught during the Trump administration, politicized much like other seemingly nonpartisan and non-controversial White House traditions during the hyper-divisive Trump era.
