President Donald Trump appeared at a New York Yankees game Thursday night to mark the 24th anniversary of Sept. 11, and the president was well-received by the crowd.

Loud chants of “USA, USA” broke out before and after the national anthem, which followed Trump’s visit to the Yankees’ home clubhouse, where he shook hands and had extensive chats with Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe, according to Fox News.

Here’s a quick sampling of those responses, as seen on the social media platform X:
