I find this take utterly fascinating.  What do you kind of 'support bubble' do you think he's stepped into whenever he's attending a WH press conference.  There's potential $ and fame to be made for a journalist who matches Trump's level of narcissism, even if that harms their journalistic credibility.  

And what kind of general crowd do you think you're actually pulling for World Series tickets in a D.C. stadium?  Your average nosebleed seat likely ran around a thousand dollars.

What I mean is that Trump really seems to generally live in a world where he appears to only supporters on the one hand (like his staff, who he can fire if they disagree with him, or his rallies where only supporters are allowed in) or else at press events. My point being that this dynamic doubtless leaves him with the impression that it's only the press that dislikes him and real, ordinary people love him. Now he has discovered otherwise.

As to people who attend the World Series, it's worth pointing out that said tickets are priced high for a reason: because they're highly sought after. Baseball has been traditionally known as "the American past time". It seems weird to suggest that baseball fans aren't normal Americans.
