Owner of the NEW YORK
Yankees;
host of Donald J. Trump 2.0
for the 9/11 "Commemoration"
of the 2001 terrorist attack on Manhattan's
Twin WTC Towers;
for the scheduled game against the
Detroit Tigers, the home team
Levine's YANKEEs won 9-3 before a
crowd of 40,608.
Trump visited the players in the clubhouse
ahead of the game :
"You're going to win, you're going to go
all the way, and you'll get in the playoff."
[ actually to win the World Series means that
you have to get in and win several preliminary
playoffs ]
On THURSDAY in the Bronx,
roads were blocked off, helicopters
circled overhead, Secret Service and
NYPD, as well as TSA (airport security)
officers stood outside Yankee Stadium
which had opened 3 hours early to
facilitate screening before the first
pitch at 7:05 p.m.
Trump followed precedent here
as a sitting president : Warren Harding
(1923 for the Stadium's opening) and
George W. Bush (who threw out an
opening pitch a few weeks following
the 9/11/2001 catastrophe).
