President Trump tweeted his congratulations to the team:
Congratulations to the Washington Nationals on a great season and an incredible World Series. Game 7 was amazing! @Nationals

As did Kellyanne Conway:
#Nationals win #WorldSeries2019!!
These #Yankees fans transplanted to DC have enjoyed cheering for the home team. #NLCS championship and #WorldSeries games with my son=priceless. pic.twitter.com/xHuBGxZcN6

And as she pointed out on Fox News, this is a trend in DC that started once President Trump took office:
Kellyanne Conway on Fox: “Since Pres Trump came to office, the Capitals, the hockey team, the Mystics & the Nationals have won their first championship."
Steve: Are you saying the President deserves the credit for Nationals winning?
Kellyanne: The credit goes to the athletes.
