President Trump dozes and is loudly booed at MSG during NBA Finals Game 3
President Donald Trump was shown on Madison Square Garden's jumbotron before Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, drew loud boos from the crowd, and appeared to nod off while seated courtside. Television footage shows Trump giving a military salute amid the boos; the boos paused when the jumbotron displayed the U.S. flag and Knicks players were shown to cheers. The episode highlights presidential optics during high-profile public appearances and raises questions about public perception of the president's composure at major events.
Trump, shown on camera during the national anthem, is booed loudly at MSG
ABC tried to chop the sound so that I sounded like general audience noise but it was very clearly booing. Fuck that guy.
He placed his fascist granddaughter right next to him because he’s a coward
Why does he salute? He is so stupid.
Nothing says "man of the people" quite like ruining the biggest night in NYC sports history with a massive federal security perimeter because you wanted a front-row seat to get booed. 🎪🤡
Thank you #NewYork! MSG management thought the national anthem playing would stop the boos. 😆 🤣
Thanks to the crowd at MSG 😁
What a schmuck!! With a smirk on his rotten face. Why the hell is he saluting?? The felon doesn’t care about basketball!! Thank you NYC!!! Now show Mayor Mamdani and let’s hear cheers!!
I was looking forward to this more than the actual game.
It would have been fun to show Mamdani immediately after Trump.
Cowards showed him during the anthem thinking no one would boo during that. Nice job New York!!!
“Place the flat right hand directly over the heart.” The orange buffoon salutes?! He is not in the military nor a veteran…
Motherfucking coward loves to hide behind the national anthem and the armed services. bsky.app/profile/bren...
The way they cheered for the singer and the Knicks make it clear they were booing TF outta him.
Five time draft dodger say what?
NYT will call this a mixed reaction 😂
Trump doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself He lives in a red bubble surrounded by his #TrumpCult & psychophants who tell him only when he wants to hear
Me and my son was booing him so loud at home my husband thought it was a problem.
He’s hated and despised in his hometown. That’s truly an accomplishment. I really like this for him.
I'll never get that disgusting spray tan photo out of my head.
Prepare to cover Fox News all morning tomorrow talking about how the NYC crowd booed the anthem.
I heard it louder on another clip And I sure heard it on TV
New Yorkers don't cheer for rapists, pedophiles, traitors or liars.
Well done NYC! Well done!
Bone spurs tried to sneak his appearance in when everybody was looking at the singer cuz he didn't want to look like a coward by not showing his face and still got booed. I bet he doesn't show his face again and I bet he leaves before it's over
A draft dodger saluting is a special kind of evil!!!
I can’t wait to hear the real audio from inside the arena. Because what was on the network feed was clearly manipulated.
He obviously loves being an a$$hole.
Him saluting during the anthem is stupid and absurd. Him waiting to do so until the camera is on him is fucking nauseating.
the salute did not happen until he knew the camera was on him
He salutes because he's a fucking coward. We who respect the flag and love our country (in spite of it's failings and flaws), put our hand over our heart. This asshole is shielding his face from the light. Fuck this fucking coward.
Mamdani paid a grand for his ticket. Anyone see Der Trump pay for one?
Trump gets a warm welcome when he arrives at MSG
Sad that Ivanka has aged out and he now resorts to his granddaughter Kai as his comforting arm Candy.
Regretful that Trump had to disrupt this beautiful rendition of the Star Spangled Banner!
The orange MFer stands against everything that is good in America.
So Madison Square Garden is a super safe venue to hold Whitehouse correspondents dinners, state dinners and DC govt events and a new ballroom like others in DC is pointless
Good I’m glad his granddaughter was there to hear it! 💯🤬
Fucking moron saluting the national anthem like he's just met a North Korean general.
I love how they booed him and not the Spurs LMAfuckinO
That massive, sustained booing just warms my heart.
I heard too much cheering.
As a civilian, he should not be saluting, but even if someone tried to tell him, he wouldn't care, as he thinks he knows more than anyone else about everything.
Why does that jacka** salute
I'm sure he'll rant about it like a crybaby later tonight
Why was it not tomato night?
New Yorkers gave Trump a Philly welcome.
This could be my imagination BUT.. While I heard the boos like everyone else, I thought I also detected a bit of audio sweetening; i.e., mixing cheers in over the boos so as to suppress them The announcers are certainly enthusiastic about Trump being "the first president to attend a playoff!" Gee
His granddaughter, Kai, standing right behind him is psychopathic. The minute the boos start, she starts to smile. That's a bully.
So they showed him during National Anthem betting he would not be booed (loudly). Embarrassing.
Coward move showing him during the anthem. Maga will cry that NYC hates America
He shouldn't salute, he's never been in the military. That's actually super offensive. Oh yeah, more booing please!
Mother fucker needs to put his hand over his heart. If only he had one
I feel SO BAD for the guy singing the anthem
What an ‘honour’ for tRUMP. The first president to be BOOED before, during and after the National Anthem.
Stolen Valor plus inappropriate saluting. Cadet Bone Spurs is a black hole of Cowardice.
He is the first president that I have observed during the national anthem that he doesn't put his right hand for on his heart
His people will dub in cheering crowds and use the video for political propaganda.
What’s the time delay, so they can scrub out the boos?
Of course they show his rancid mug during the National Anthem to blunt the boos.
In recent clips of this sort, the boos are not as universal - or at least dominant - as I'd hoped they would be. We've gotta *drown them out* folks.
(Felon) What a shithead.....I meant asshole..... Nahhh, he is both and even more. Waste of oxygen, a vile POS.....!
Fox News will probably call those fans “Antifa”.
It's cause he sucks and is the worst
It makes me sick every time I see him salute given his disrespect for the military and, let’s face it, the entire country.
Seems a little unfair to this guy singing and kinda like a setup to make normies think NYC hates America.
As he should be. Now, please it’s half time so Go Knicks.
I probably don't have much else in common with people who can afford to buy $10k sports tickets, but at least we all hate Pedonald. Nice work, MSG crowd.
YES!!!!! I LIVE THIS FOR HIM. POMPOUS FAT ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT. I HOPE YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD SOON.
The timing was painful as the gentleman singing the Star Spangled Banner was absolutely brilliant…Trump will probably say they were booing the national anthem 🙄
Booooooooooooo (can you hear me from Tx?)
Welp, now the Knicks are cursed and will lose the next 4
And he brought a date...
I predicted this, and here are 90 seconds of mean jokes about it, for those inclined: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBaUgkJE/
General Bone spurs with the salute. He's such a fucking idiot.
It must be awful to know you are this hated.
The boos bursting in air Gave proof on this night That our flag is still there 🇺🇸🏀👻
Strange look on his face; was he smirking while saluting?
Is it just me or is the salute he gave kinda gross and disrespectful? He is not a veteran and has no concept of what a salute really means.
Kai is going to become the next trump con scammer.
He came for the boos.
ABC choreograph’s showing Trump during the National anthem to minimize the booing.
How does this twat get to salute?..... A draft dodger?... Day by day I hate him more....
Is that his date next to him? 🚩🚩🚩
We need to stop doing the national anthem in this country
Why is he saluting 😂
If i was a criminal, I'd be criming tonight.
Entitled nepo baby grand daughter beside him? They need to stop trying to make "fetch" happen.🤷♀️
Watched Trump arrival @ Madison Square Garden live - inside and outside. Was holding my breath for HUGE BOOS from Knicks fans. I know the focus was on a Knicks win, but… … that’s all you got, NYC? You’re letting him enjoy the game? and… go Knicks 🥇
I wonder how many times he has been told you don't salute when wearing a suit. But he does it anyway. Because he doesn't actually respect military custom.
I think ABC was hoping the fans wouldn't boo Trump during the national anthem.
During the national anthem, President Donald Trump was booed by the Game 3 crowd at MSG.
Should've have panned the camera to Mamdani after a short pause.
Not enough boos or tomatoes
I noticed he didn't salute until he saw himself on the jumbotron 😒
Someone gotta start a good Fuck Trump chant cmon
It was epic when they put him on the monitor during the anthem and he got resoundingly booed. Then when the singer continued his solo the crowd really cheered him on! Everyone knew who the boos were for and who the cheers were for.
This is the same president who’s in so much danger from assassins that Americans have to give him a billion $ bomb-proof sanctuary so he can safely party with billionaires, like at Mar-a-Lago? But here he is, in a huge arena with 1000s of unvetted people who seem to hate him…& he’s fine.
the camera guys did that singer dirty
I have to say, showing Trump on the jumbotron during the anthem was a savvy move by MSG. They probably caught some people off guard who hesitated booing during the anthem.
It’s ok to boo him AND the anthem.
The booing that Trump received here is the equivalent to what the city of Los Angeles said to Spencer Pratt at the ballot box.
Y’all need Boo harder so you can make him storm off like he did in that interview.
Why is he Saluting during the National Anthem? He is the Commander in Chief but saluting the flag is a weird flex. Although he did salute a North Korean General a few years ago.
What did he expect, he intentionally ruined this special day for New Yorker's, and they know it.
The boos only began when Bone Spurs hit the Jumbotron.
I love they tried to manipulate the crowd by showing him during the national anthem.... and they still booed the fuck out of him🤣🤣🤣
Heard those boos all the way to Texas. Knicks fans dont deserve that trash
In his demented mind, all he heard was cheers.
🎼 Listen all you New Yorkers 🎼
“New York hates you” BOOOOO
There is no doubt he wanted to have his face on the board - otherwise he would have told them in advance not to photograph him. He also knew he would be booed. He will play this as the unpatriotic radical left booing at the national anthem.
ABC filtered it out on Tv.
He deserves to be booed everywhere he goes. Forever.
Shit was so loud, people who aren't watching the game heard it.
Fuck Donald Trump Mug, 15 oz Ceramic Hidden Message Coffee Cup | #ad amzn.to/4dNmwsa
No, Donald we don't like you. Go away. Take a hint, dude.
NGL, I’m in DC and I’m pretty sure I could hear them. I ❤️ NY.
Why is he saluting? You're suppose to put your hand over your heart. Isn't that what we were taught in school? He must have skipped that day.
That’s how a rapist and felon should be treated in public.
How disrespectful of him. Mr bone spurs never served in the military and does not have the right to salute at anything including the national anthem.
He got what the fuck he deserved he shouldn’t showed his dumb ass up, he likes this because he is a fool.
I thought the sign said "Epstein Conference Champions," which is apropos for the Orange Man.
The greatest favor he can pay the country is vacating his office in a pine box.
Despite trying to hide the boos with the schlocky anthem and muting them, it was as expected. This is the most hated fat fuck old man on the planet. He would be booed everywhere he goes. A piece of shits piece of shit, Donald Jackoff Trump.
Spike Lee got more screen time...
Watched on a loop like 9 x
Outside they chanted NEW YORK HATES you! As he was walking in. He has to make everything about HIM. He spoiled this for NY's and real fans, he just wants to show up everywhere like a dictator does. Wants people to think he's in charge.
Who the fuck is he saluting?
They should shout out “Pedophile Protector!” non-stop
It turns my stomach to see this draft dodger pedophile salute.
If midterms happen tomorrow Republicans will lose 522 to zero Anything they tell u about his approval rating being above 9% is a lie
In his demented mind he probably thought it was applause
I love America, it's the land of the free and home of the middle finger to Trump.
I expected much more. I am very disappointed New York!
Clearest audio of Trump being booed at MSG in NYC for the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Spurs:
Also, why is he saluting??
Ugh my! He succeeded again in turning something that has n0thing to do with him, all about him! 😔 Eff him!
I think theyre saying Boo-erns
They should have continued to boo until trump was forced to leave.
Donald Trump was shown on the MSG jumbotron during the national anthem and booed heavily
What an L by the video booth. Ruined it for the crowd and the singer. Should have put him up some other time so the NYK fans could boo him in peace.
And his grand daughter giggled. This family gets off on it. Every single one of them are weirdos.
His people are soooo going to say that's a mix of cheers and boos. I need more! lol
And his granddaughter smirked. 🤦♀️
Too little, too late. "America" is an eternal bad joke.
US President Donald Trump was met with loud boos from the crowd at Game 3 of the NBA Finals as the anthem played before tipoff. Follow live updates: https://cnn.it/4alDFH7
The most hated man in the world. Congrats, Donnie. I think you have surpassed Putin and Bibi. You are finally better at something than everyone else.
Why was he saluting? He’s not in the military.
He was only there to be an asshole. He doesn’t give a shit about basketball.
If the regular fans weren’t priced out of the game, we’d have heard the JEFF-REY EP-STEIN!!! JEFF-REY EP-STEIN!!! chant by now
They booed him again too! It was louder & worse!
Hated in your home town. And they know you the best.
1) He only started saluting when the camera panned to him. 2) Who was he saluting?
On Faux News they will broadcast this as, “NYC boos the national anthem.”
This idiot is gonna say he couldn't see anybody booing.
Thx New York ! The World see you
Can’t remember in recent history a president had been booed in any games.
Honestly couldn’t have happened to a worse president
Why wouldn’t people boo, Trump is going to sports events, playing golf, stuffing his face with hamburgers while the rest of us are having trouble making ends meet, playing 4 dollars plus for gas and not knowing how long this war will last. A war that he started.
Well deserved. Forcing them to go through extra security checks hours before the game all so he could take another nap in public… 🤦 🤦♀️ enough
Boos from The Moon too
This is good. This is what he deserves. He also deserves to be in prison. Also, notice the wobbling.
* Trump thinks of himself as a special person with his own Praetorian Guard, the roman elite imperial bodyguard, & care not how he inconvenience the average American Joe, seeking to watch a sports game. Trump is endlessly shitting on everything in government and america, with no empathy. *
Why is a man who didn't serve in the military doing a salute?
Why was the draft dodger saluting?
I can’t stand to see him salute when he makes such a mockery of democracy and embarrasses this country around the globe.
It makes me sad when I think of all the starving hyenas he could feed.
The tweets about how very rude and nasty New Yorkers were to “your favorite president” are going to be hilarious, but it’s going to be less funny when he unleashes ICE en masse in New York to violently crack heads just for revenge.
Everyones saying that Trump being booed relentlessly at MSG would be the funniest possibility, but I think that's pretty clearly the second funniest
What will really break his brain is if he's booed and Mamdani gets a standing O.
Its bannan peels on the floor night here at MSG, oh and here he is an... oh good god, oh the humanity....oh, whyd he pop like a baloon?
I think there should be silence. That would freak Trump out.
Can we get him to attend?
ALERT: Secret Service Wants To Know Your Location
Trump attending the #Knicks game means every fan and employee in MSG, along with Penn Station commuters, inconvenienced, huge New Year’s Eve-sized watch party outside MSG canceled, thereby severely hurting businesses catering to the partygoers. If you want him there to hear him being booed… (1/2)
(2-2) First of all, you’re rooting for hundreds of thousands of people to be inconvenienced, and businesses (like No. 1 Tacos, which is great) losing out on big money. But also be prepared for the complicit media to filter the sound so you don’t hear him being booed. #GoKnicks #KnicksIn4
I'd 100% prefer he not be there, but if he is, I want him booed loudly for an extended period of time.
For what it's worth, I don't want him there so he'll be booed. I want him booed if he goes there
Remember the boos need to be low and sustained. From the chest.
WE DON'T WANT HIM THERE We want him booed because he's going there.
This is such deeply crappy behavior, but what else is new for that old fart? He'll probably sleep through the whole thing.
Are you imagining a group of people with inchoate, half-baked thoughts about whether Trump goes to the knicks game, just so you can get mad at them? This is sort of an unhinged post. Who cares if someone said “I hope he goes so he gets booed.” What a crazy thing the get mad about.
Penn Station? Trump is shutting down Penn Station?
I don’t care to see the lunatic being boo’d but if he insists on showing up ….. And these nights are what these business need. I’m sure they’ve already staffed up for this too. Absolutely awful person. Can he do one thing right?
Trump destroys everything he touches. This includes fun, exciting things that people are looking forward to.
Trump’s decision to go to the game tonight re-enforces everything we already knew about him. He is a selfish narcissistic a**hole.
Anyone going to the Knicks game tonight ? Please take videos of trump being booed. Chances are they'll mute it. Post everywhere
He will leave just after halftime
Trump motorcade booed as he arrives for NBA Finals game 3 at MSG MERCADO MEDIA
Trump will sleep through the first quarter and then leave.
😂 Booed before he even arrives
LOUDER. I want to be able to hear the booing all across USA and to my home in Victoria, BC, CANADA 🇨🇦
He's gonna be booed endlessly. This guy has no shame.
The Secret Service guy at the end - the white one - looks like he’s 13.
I am sick of America paying for his recreational activities. Most of us cannot even afford extra activities. Having a pet is a luxury.
The Knicks are gonna lose their first game after a 13 game winning streak. The unlucky charm strikes again. It’s Joe Biden’s fault.
Having Trump at your sporting event is like inviting someone camping that insists on peeing on the campfire
Of course it was. Biden strikes again!
The curse of the Orange Bambino!!
Now the Knicks know what it’s like to be a 13 year old girl alone with trump. You can fight, but this scumbag is gonna find a way to fuck you.
Analysis: President Trump is hosting the UFC at the White House on his 80th birthday. It's a conflict-of-interest spectacle, good governance advocates say. Here’s what to know about the event:
It’s also tasteless, you can always count on trump to do something despicable.
He literally owns stock in UFC’s parent company. I’m not a “good governance advocate”, whatever that means. That’s a conflict-of-interest. That’s the straight up textbook definition.
Thanks for this analysis. I appreciate it
