January 1, Trump Ignites Army-Navy Game With Patriot Salute

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump shows up strong at Army-Navy, honoring tradition and troops.
• He refuses to play favorites, keeping focus on American unity.
• This gridiron clash holds extra weight, deciding the top military team.

The 126th Army-Navy football game saw President Trump step onto the field at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. His presence sent excitement through the crowd, raising American spirit in a time-honored matchup.

He watched parachutists drop into the stadium, saluted during the national anthem, and tossed the coin to start the game. Both Army and Navy had already beaten Air Force this season, so the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy was on the line in a true winner-take-all battle.

He made it clear he wouldn’t pick sides, drawing laughs with a straight answer.

With top leaders and a packed crowd, Trump gave his famous fist pump as fans cheered “USA!” across the stands. The stakes were high, as the winner would take home the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy for the year.

Earlier, Trump addressed reporters about the loss of U.S. soldiers in a Syria attack.

“We mourn the loss of three great patriots in Syria. You know how it happened, it was an ambush. Terrible,”

He said, vowing a response.

This matchup is more than football—it’s about American grit, pride, and standing tall together. Don’t miss updates on the outcome and more stories that matter.
