Trump's Big Game Visit: A Shift in Baltimore Focus
President Trump is set to attend the Army-Navy game in Baltimore on December 13, despite his recent criticism of the city's crime rate. He announced his plans during a Thanksgiving call with soldiers, joking about predicting the winner but confirming his attendance.
The Army-Navy Game: A Historic Rivalry
- First played in 1890
- Navy leads the series
- This year's game at M&T Bank Stadium
Trump, who attended last year's game (where Navy won decisively), said he would make his prediction after the game. Both teams are performing well this season, with Navy holding a slight edge in record and standout players.
Trump's Shift on Baltimore
Earlier this year, Trump suggested sending the National Guard to Baltimore to combat crime, a proposal rejected by local leaders who argued that crime was decreasing. The mayor even invited Trump to witness the progress firsthand.
Trump, however, called Baltimore a "hellhole" and demanded the governor address the crime issue before he would visit. His decision to attend the game now marks a significant reversal from his earlier stance.
