The Eagles' trip was called off less than 24 hours before it was to take place, with Trump saying in a statement Monday that he would appear with only the team's fans and the United States Marine Band and Army Chorus, and that the anthem would be played "loudly and proudly." His decision came after some players said they would skip the ceremony in protest; a senior administration official told The Post that only 10 to 12 people might come representing the team, creating a meager celebration.
