The President of the United States, Donald Trump, attended the tribute game last night for the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack held at the New York Yankees stadium, the country's most popular baseball team and a symbol of American culture.
At the event, Trump received a warm welcome from the fans and officials of the major league team. "The fans were very kind," Trump said this morning on television. "You never know what you're going to find in New York, but we got a tremendous round of applause because they love this country."
The Yankees honored the memory of the September 11 victims during a pregame ceremony, with the team's scoreboard displaying an American flag with the inscription: "September 11, 2001, we will not forget."

Trump, who watched the game from the Yankees owner's family suite and behind three panels of bulletproof glass, maintaining strict security protocol at all times, witnessed how at one point the fans began to chant his name.
Before the game began, the president visited the locker room where the New York team's players were, where he told them "you're going to win." The presidential prediction turned out to be correct, as the Yankees, led by their star Aaron Judge, defeated the Detroit Tigers 9 to 3.
"He came here and told us we were going to win, so I think that gave all of us the confidence to go out and do it," said Aaron Judge, who later took a photo with Trump and the entire team. "I think we need to have him with us more often."
Trump attended the game just one day after the murder of his friend Charlie Kirk. The night became even more emotional when the New York stadium held a minute of silence in memory of the conservative leader brutally murdered by a left-wing terrorist.
