UPDATE: President Donald Trump has just congratulated the Los Angeles Dodgers on their thrilling victory in the 2025 World Series, announcing that he will welcome the champions to the White House. In a passionate post on Truth Social, Trump declared, “Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers, a game won by incredible CHAMPIONS!!! SEE YOU ALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!”
This victory comes after the Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a nail-biting Game 7 that ended with a score of 5-4 after 11 innings. This marks the Dodgers’ second consecutive World Series title, making them the first team since the New York Yankees to achieve back-to-back championships, a feat last accomplished from 1998 to 2000.
The Dodgers, who faced a challenging game on Saturday, showcased remarkable resilience and talent, rallying to clinch the win. Trump’s enthusiastic message highlights the team’s impressive performance, stating, “A lesser group of men would never have been able to win that game, or game 6, for that matter.”
This is not the first time Trump has celebrated the Dodgers; he previously praised their skills and “movie star” looks following their victory over the New York Yankees in October 2024. In an April 2025 event at the White House, Trump notably took jabs at California’s Democratic senators, while welcoming the team, reinforcing his connection with the champions.
The Dodgers’ win and Trump’s invitation to the White House mark a return to tradition as many sports teams had opted out of visiting during Trump’s first term. The Dodgers are the second champion sports team to meet with the president since his return to office, following the NHL’s Florida Panthers.
As the Dodgers celebrate their victory, they also navigate the political landscape surrounding their home state. In June, Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid escalating immigration protests, which led to tensions and controversy. California Governor Gavin Newsom and the state’s attorney general have challenged this deployment as unlawful, showcasing the complex interplay between sports and politics in the Golden State.
Fans are eager to see how the Dodgers will be honored in the upcoming White House visit, adding to the excitement of their historic win. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops, and share your thoughts on the Dodgers’ remarkable achievement and Trump’s invitation!
