Trump is going (late) to the World Series game tonight. No first pitch. Leaving early too.

I expect him to milk the killing of a guy no one had really heard of for all it's worth. I can hear Joe Buck singing his praises now.


Trump will brave boo birds to attend World Series Game 5 — skips first pitch

President Trump will brave the boo birds to attend Game 5 of the World Series featuring the Washington Nationals — but won’t throw out the first pitch.
Perhaps seeking to avoid an attention-grabbing display of his unpopularity in the nation’s capital, Trump says he will arrive at the game after it is underway Sunday evening and will beat the traffic by leaving early.

Instead of Trump, celebrity chef José Andrés, a prominent critic of the president’s policies on immigration and other issues, will toss out the ceremonial first pitch.
The Nationals owner gave Trump a less-than-rousing welcome, saying the president has “every right to come” to the game
