Landover, Maryland – Video filmed by Mohsen Farshneshani shows a large crowd at Northwest Stadium booing during an event where former President Donald Trump was asked to lead the Oath of Enlistment for new U.S. military recruits as part of the NFL’s Salute to Service on November 09, 2025.

The crowd’s reaction was so forceful it drowned out the PA system, transforming what was intended as a tribute to the military into a charged display of public dissent.

The event is part of a wider trend where political figures participate in sports ceremonies, sometimes prompting sharply divided responses.

The backlash against Trump at the stadium highlights deep political divisions. Some interpreted the jeers as protest against his policies or persona, while others viewed them as disrespect toward both the military and the presidency, as noted in social-media commentary.
