Before attending the Saturday night game, Trump released a statement announcing his presence. It read, “Looking forward to being at the World Series in Atlanta tonight. Thank you to the Commissioner of Baseball Rob Manfred, and Randy Levine of the great New York Yankees, for the invite. Melania and I are looking forward to a wonderful evening watching two great teams!”

What is the “Let's go Brandon” chant?

As per reports, the original chant was “F*** Joe Biden!” that people yelled after NASCAR driver Brandon Brown won the Xfinity Series race in Talladega, Alabama, in early October. But sportscaster Kelli Stavas, who was interviewing Brown at the time, misheard it as “Let's go Brandon” and said: “As you can hear the chants from the crowd – 'Let's go, Brandon.’”

Since then people who are not happy with President Joe Biden have used the “Let's go Brandon” chant to show their displeasure without actually saying the expletive. So, when on Saturday, anti-Biden people chanted the same thing, Trump seemed to be relishing the moment. He also shook his head in approval.

Several people commented on the recent video as a user tweeted, “I thought sports shouldn’t be political.” The second one commented, “He won’t be laughing when he’s arraigned lmfao.” “It's funny cause he got impeach twice while biden hasn't,” the third user added.

A person suggested, “Canada can have him since he lost here in the states.” Sharing a meme another one stated, “I remember when he was booed and cried his eyes out. LOL. Good times.” A tweet read, “The Devil went down to Georgia!”

Trump's "Tomahawk Chop” video also attracted a lot of arguments on Twitter. A user tweeted, "He showed up for the racism lol." Another one mentioned, "This has big 'My best friend is black so I get to use the N-word' vibes. If a thing is racist, it's racist. Asking groups of people to say it isn't - especially in a token manner - is also racist (and I should point out those groups don't speak for everyone)."

"Hmm, a bunch of white people arguing over whether this is offensive. If you have to ask...it usually is," a person said. "He actually can’t even do the chop right!?!" another one stated. "It's the chop. You bend from the elbow. He's pushing out from his shoulder. Why am I explaining this?" the third one added.
