That time an entire baseball stadium shouted “Lock him up!” at Donald Trump during the World Series

Donald Trump, along with Melania and a gaggle of GOP lawmakers, attended Game 5 of the World Series in Washington, D.C. on Sunday where they were met with loud boos and chants of “lock him up” from the crowd.

Baseball fans burst into angry boos the moment the announcer said #45 was in attendance and live footage of him flashed on the stadium’s video screen. The Trumps, clearly distraught by the reception they were receiving, smiled awkwardly before Mrs. Trump finally decided she had had enough and let her fake smile drop completely.

The heckling resumed just after the third inning when Trump stood up and waved at the crowd. That’s when everyone started shouting “Lock him up! Lock him up!”

Later in the game, two banners that read “Impeach Trump” were rolled out, along with signs that read “Veterans For Impeachment” just behind home plate.

By the seventh inning, Trump’s ego could no longer withstand the blows and he and his entourage left before the game was over.

And now, the memes…
