Aaron Judge launched a solo homer after meeting President Trump inside the Yankees’ clubhouse before Thursday’s game against the Tigers. 

The slugger sent his 45th dinger of the season in the bottom of the first inning to give the Bronx Bombers a 1-0 lead. 

The home run to left field — which traveled 413 feet — at Yankee Stadium came less than an hour after Judge shook hands with Trump, who was in The Bronx to commemorate the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks in Manhattan.
