WATCH: Former US President Donald Trump Cheers Atlanta Braves With ‘Tomahawk Chop’ Against Houston Astros
The Truist Park played host to Game 4 of the World Series between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros yesterday. While the diamond played host to some of the finest players in the MLB today, one man took a fair chunk of the spotlight off it. That man is none other than the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
While enjoying the comfort of a suite, the 75-year-old joined Braves fans in their popular chant alongside his wife and former First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump.

Following Game 2 of this year’s World Series, news broke of Trump attending yesterday’s game in Atlanta. Yesterday, the 75-year-old followed up on that news, making his presence felt in Truist Park.

Along with Trump, the capacity crowd at the Truist Park saw the Braves clinch a narrow 3-2 victory. This gave them a 3-1 lead in the series, taking them one step closer towards their fourth World Series title.
The Braves script a spirited comeback to win Game 4
Second baseman José Altuve gave the Astros a fine start, scoring two runs in the first four innings. However, the 31-year-old would turn out to be their only scorer as the Braves mounted a solid comeback.

Eddie Rosario scored a run in the bottom of the sixth inning to reduce the deficit, before the Braves enjoyed an exhilarating seventh innings. Dansby Swanson and Jorge Soler scored back-to-back solo home runs to give them a 3-2 lead which they held onto.
Should the Braves produce another performance like they did yesterday in Game 5 later today, they could end a 26-year World Series drought in front of their fans. Can the NL Pennant winners script one of the best stories this season today? Or will the Astros conjure a victory in this win or go home situation?
