On Sunday, President Donald Trump made history by becoming the first sitting president to attend a regular-season NFL game since Jimmy Carter in 1978, watching the Detroit Lions face off against the Washington Commanders. During the game, Trump provided commentary on players and even attempted play-by-play analysis, reflecting on sports as a microcosm of life. He also expressed interest in naming the Commanders’ new stadium after himself, amidst discussions about its construction at the RFK site. While discussing the ongoing government shutdown, Trump asserted that the country is doing “great,” citing economic indicators and investments.
