Watch Trump and Melania get booed at the World Series

"Lock him up!"

There's no crying in baseball, but sometimes there is booing.

Donald Trump turned up to Nationals Park to see the Washington Nationals take on the Houston Astros in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday, while the first innings were already underway.

His entourage included the First Lady and some of his most loyal supporters amidst the impeachment inquiry, including Rep. Matt Gaetz (aka King Leonidas of D.C.) and Senator Lindsey Graham.

This party crew got a shout out on the big screen during the traditional salute to veterans during a break in play — and safe to say that the president is about as popular inside the ballpark as he is out of it.

The crowd loudly booed Trump, before pivoting to a clear and resounding chant of "Lock him up! Lock him up!"

It's worth noting that the boos stopped fairly abruptly the second the screen showed the vets in the president's box waving at the camera, the crowd careful to make it clear who their disapproval was aimed at.

Trump arrived quietly after the first pitch, which was thrown by celebrity chef, humanitarian, and vocal Trump critic José Andrés.

No doubt Gaetz assured the president that they were actually saying "Boo-uild the wall, preferably in Colorado."
