President Donald Trump hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers at the White House on Monday, celebrating their 2024 World Series victory, while later expressing his aversion to California politicians.

During the ceremony, President Trump commended the team’s collective performance and highlighted Shohei Ohtani’s historic achievement of becoming the first MLB player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season.

The event underscored the longstanding tradition of championship teams visiting the White House to celebrate their ultimate goal of winning a championship.

Trump praised the players’ talent, tenacity, and “movie star” good looks — as he celebrated their victory over the New York Yankees in 2024.

Although he did not specifically mention them by name, the GOP president also appeared to be poking fun at California’s Democrat senators, who were not present at the East Room event.
