Trump congratulates Nats on World Series crown despite harsh reception at Game 5 - Fox News

President Trump apparently didn't take it personally Sunday night when many Washington Nationals fans booed him at Nationals Park after he arrived to see Game 5 of the 2019 World Series.

On Wednesday night, after the Nationals defeated the Houston Astros in Game 7 in Texas, to claim the team's first world championship -- and the first for the nation's capital since 1924 -- the president acknowledged the D.C. team's achievement in a Twitter message.

"Congratulations to the Washington Nationals on a great season and an incredible World Series," the president wrote. "Game 7 was amazing."

The Nationals won in come-from-behind fashion, smacking a pair of home runs in the seventh inning on their way to a 6-2 win in the final game of a Fall Classic that saw the visiting team win all seven games. Washington starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, a soon-to-be free agent, was named the Series MVP.
