Former MLB pitcher Noah Syndergaard says he does not understand why some people criticize President Donald Trump, after meeting him at the White House this week. Syndergaard said he has been a supporter for a long time and that his visit marked his first time meeting Trump. He spoke publicly about the president shortly after the encounter.

According to reports, Syndergaard’s appearance at the White House is connected to an event celebrating the Presidential Fitness Test. Both outlets describe his comments as a response to “Trump negativity” or criticism, with Syndergaard saying he cannot see the reasons behind it. Neither report provides details about any specific criticism or controversy he is addressing. The coverage focuses on Syndergaard’s personal perspective following the meeting and his claim that he has long been a fan of Trump. The reports do not indicate further developments from the event beyond Syndergaard’s public remarks.
