Trump Criticizes California Senators During Dodgers White House Celebration

During a White House celebration for the 2024 World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, President Donald Trump delivered remarks that included both praise for the team and jabs at California's Democratic senators, Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff. Trump humorously declined to introduce the senators, stating, 'I just don't particularly like them', which elicited laughter from the audience. Neither senator attended the event, and Trump's comments were reflective of his long-standing animosity toward Schiff, particularly regarding past accusations of collusion. In addition to his political comments, Trump praised Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani and emphasized the team's resilience throughout the season. The ceremony was highlighted by a mix of sports celebration and political commentary, showcasing Trump's characteristic style. This event follows a recent controversy surrounding the restoration of pages honoring historical figures like Jackie Robinson by the Department of Defense.
