President Trump hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House to honor their 2024 World Series win. He praised star players like Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, specifically acknowledging Betts' previous lack of attendance during a White House visit with another team. Trump chose not to acknowledge certain Democratic senators at the event due to personal preferences. Betts expressed gratitude for the invitation but acknowledged the complexity of his decision to attend amid political divides.
"Nobody else in this clubhouse has to go through a decision like this except me. That's what makes it tough. But it is what it is."
"I just don’t particularly like them, so I won’t introduce (them)."
Trump complimented 'the very talented people' who beat the New York Yankees in five games, highlighting the Dodgers' achievements during a celebratory White House event.
"It's a privilege to get an invitation like this. I just want to be there with them."
