President Donald Trump’s visit to the 126th Army-Navy football game Saturday was met with a crowd of protesters outside M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Footage on social media showed a line of protesters holding obscene signs against Trump on the street leading up to the stadium.
Protests were expected for the game in the heavily Democratic city, as Trump has proposed sending the National Guard to Baltimore to help address the city’s rampant crime. Baltimore consistently ranks among US cities with high crime rates, often appearing in the top 5 for violent crime, particularly murder and robbery.

The left-wing activist group Free State Coalition (FSC) previously told the Baltimore Fishbowl that it would plan protests against Trump for Saturday’s game.
“Baltimore refuses to be silent in the face of authoritarianism,” an FSC spokesman told the newspaper. “Protest is not un-American, but fascism is; this country was born in dissent against tyranny. We want to send a message to our neighbors who feel isolated and afraid to speak up: you are not alone. This is not normal, not okay, and if we work together, not America’s future.”

The anti-Trump protests also come on the same day that officials said two US Army soldiers and an American interpreter were killed in an ambush in Syria.
Trump said the attack was carried out by ISIS and that “there will be very severe retaliation.”

“We mourn the loss of three great American patriots in Syria, two soldiers and a civilian interpreter. We also pray for the three wounded soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Saturday.
“This was an ISIS attack against the US and Syria in a very dangerous part of Syria that is not fully controlled by them. The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
