Brown was asked about Trump’s move and whether it was “premeditated.”
“I heard Trump was going to be at the game,” Brown explained. “I don’t know how many times the president will be at the game, so I decided to, you know, have a little fun and dance.”
In fact, it is rare for a sitting American president to attend a regular-season NFL game. The last president to attend a game while in office was President Jimmy Carter in 1978. Trump was at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans and attended a Pittsburgh Steelers game last year while campaigning.

He was at the game to read the names of those who enlisted in the US military. He did not appear in the game until the second quarter.
The Commanders welcomed the president as part of the NFL’s “Salute to Service” festivities to honor America’s veterans.
“We are honored to welcome President Trump to the game while celebrating those who have served and continue to serve our country,” Commanders Club President Mark Clouse said last week. “The entire Commanders organization is proud to participate in the NFL’s league-wide Salute to Service initiative, recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of our nation’s veterans, active-duty service members and their families this Sunday.”
