The Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House to celebrate their World Series win, continuing a long-standing baseball tradition of champions visiting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. During the visit, President Trump sparked laughter among the Dodgers when he chose not to introduce certain political guests.
While delivering remarks in the East Room, Trump drew a wave of laughter after refusing to name a few of the senators present. “We have a couple of senators here. I just don’t particularly like them, so I won’t introduce them,” he said.
