Donald Trump wasn’t welcomed warmly at the World Series on Sunday … some fans hung “Impeach Trump!” banners in the stands while others booed the president relentlessly.
POTUS made his first appearance at the Astros-Nationals series in Game 5 at Nationals Park in D.C. … and he was almost immediately hit with negativity.
When 45 was shown on the jumbotron, cameras caught fans booing him loudly … with a “Lock him up!” chant breaking out in parts of the stadium.

Later in the evening, several people — including some in Nationals hats — unfurled multiple “Impeach Trump!” banners … tying them to stadium railings.

There was more … at one point during the game, fans behind home plate held up “Veterans For Impeachment” signs too.
Unclear if Trump saw or heard any of it (there haven’t been any tweets from the Prez about the game yet) … but footage from the night appeared to show Trump looking uncomfortable.

As for the game, things didn’t go much better for the hometown team — the Nationals got destroyed 7-1 — and are now down 3-2 in the series.
Games 6 and 7 are slated for Tuesday and Wednesday in Houston … which means Sunday was probably Trump’s first and last appearance of the series.
