'Surprised you are asking me about politics': Army-Navy attendees blew off Trump visit

Tailgaters who attended the annual Army-Navy game had little to say about president-elect Donald Trump bringing a posse of his insiders to the game on Saturday, with most telling the Washington Post they were there for football and not politics.
The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's visit to a wake for slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, where he was met with a lack of engagement from attendees, including members of the military and law enforcement. Despite Trump's attempt to connect with the crowd by criticizing the current administration and highlighting his own contributions to law enforcement, many attendees, including those from the Army and Navy, appeared disinterested or even walked away during his speech. This reaction was unexpected for Trump, who has often portrayed himself as a staunch supporter of the military and police. The article suggests that this response could be indicative of a broader shift in how some in these communities view Trump, especially in light of his political activities and the controversies surrounding his post-presidency.
