President Donald J. Trump hosts 2025 World Series champions Los Angeles Dodgers at White House

President Donald J. Trump welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers to the Rose Garden on the White House grounds to celebrate the team's 2025 World Series title and its repeat championship. Trump listed team achievements, named players and staff in attendance and accepted a commemorative plaque and jersey.

The president, identified in the transcript as President Donald J. Trump, praised the Dodgers' season and singled out individual performances, saying, "This is really the new Rose Garden," and noting, "the White House is built on a wetland." He highlighted Shohei Ohtani's two-way contributions and praised the pitching rotation's postseason performance, calling it "amazing pitching." Trump also thanked owner Mark Walter and manager Dave Roberts for attending and noted other administration officials and members of Congress present.

Mark Walter, identified in the introduction as the Dodgers' owner and chairman, told the president, "It's truly an honor for us to be back at the White House again," and said the club was proud of its back-to-back titles. Dave Roberts, identified as the Dodgers' manager, thanked the president and described the team as one of "men of character," saying the club was "going for a three-peat" while in the midst of the season.

The event included a short presentation: team representatives gave the president an honorary plaque and a World Series jersey, which the president said he would display near the Oval Office. During his remarks the president described recent grounds projects, mentioning new cushions in the Rose Garden and plans for a helipad and other upgrades that he said make the site more suitable for events.

The ceremony was largely celebratory and ceremonial; there were no policy proposals, votes, or formal actions recorded in the transcript. The president closed by thanking the team and inviting them toward the Oval Office for further honors.
