President Trump booed during national anthem at NBA Finals Game 3 in MSG
President Donald Trump was shown on Madison Square Garden’s video boards during the national anthem before Game 3 of the NBA Finals and drew loud, sustained boos. Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game, entering the arena after ticket holders passed airport-style security. When the camera panned to him he lifted his hand in a salute rather than placing his right hand over his heart, a move that conflicts with U.S. Flag Code guidance. Because the appearance occurred during a nationally televised ceremony, the episode highlighted how presidential conduct at major sporting events becomes a visible test of etiquette and public image.
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
It’s ok to boo him AND the anthem.
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.
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 deserves to be booed everywhere he goes. Forever.
Heard those boos all the way to Texas. Knicks fans dont deserve that trash
In his demented mind, all he heard was cheers.
No, Donald we don't like you. Go away. Take a hint, dude.
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.
Thank you New Yorkers. For too long that S.O.B. has treated the city of NY like he has every woman in his life, like a sex pest who can’t get it through his skull just how repulsive they all find him. God I love NYC🗽🍎
A rapist felon insurrectionist who belongs in a cell should ALWAYS be booed. FDT to hell.
Who the fuck is he saluting?
NGL, I’m in DC and I’m pretty sure I could hear them. I ❤️ NY.
Why is grandpa poopypants saluting? It’s not a military event. Anthem starts, stand up, hand over heart, remove headwear. (Orrr… whatever is on his head.)
He is saluting again like he served
ABC filtered it out on Tv.
He loves to pretend he’s a patriot while he fleeces America: that private donor $ for his ballroom? 1/2 got extended or new federal contracts worth Billion$. Funneled $1.6B in Military funding to his kids start-up company. The trump brand is GIANT fucking scam
Good he’s a total pos
Kind of a dick move to put trump on the screen while guy sings the anthem. Give the singer his moment.
New York Sports Section Headline: Basketball Owner Bring Noted Racist to Game: Let's Go KKKnicks???!!!
In psychological terms, 'every stroke (attention) is a good stroke' Any attention is better than none. 'None' is the ultimate wound. The ultimate you aren't worth my time.
I was booing him all the way from Australia! 🇦🇺
That’s how a rapist and felon should be treated in public.
He's going to say he got the biggest standing ovation that there ever was in the History of the United States!
Lardass saluting is disgusting ... 5-time draft dodger !
He is such an ass. He wants to show NY that he is hot boss. New Yorkers told him what they think of that piece of shit. May he go back to golfing in a lightening storm
AND THAT WANNABE PRESIDENT JUST STANDS THERE LIKE THE IDIOT HE IS.
Watched on a loop like 9 x
I love that for him
This tiresome attention seeker doesn't even like basketball and he's always railing on about the NBA. He even had to destroy fans' joy at this much anticipated Knicks Game 3.
They didn’t boo him long enough
Boy, for a person who so desperately needs to be seen as decent and good while he touts his lack of care for his countrymen, this is pretty sick.
He got what the fuck he deserved he shouldn’t showed his dumb ass up, he likes this because he is a fool.
Does he know he was booed? Because that psycho was smiling like they were cheers.
If they win: "The greatest win in Knicks history. NBA history, many people would say. I was inspiring because their favorite president, ME, is a winner. If not for ME, they wouldn't have won." If they lose: "Very sad. All because the Dumocrat Knicks fans hate Trump more than they love the Knicks."
Love to see it, love New York ♥️
Wish it had been a unified FUCK YOU TRUMP
I’m glad he was booed but I feel really bad for the young man singing. Imagine, getting to sing the National Anthem at a NBA game and that Joker shows up ruining it.
Excellently done fans thank you all for that
Didn't someone tell that orange bitch he didn't need to salute? Hand over heart works. His dum grandbaby got it right at least. Frankly, I am surprised he could hold his hand up that long. If I was Kai I would be embarrassed AF to be with Captain Cankles. Oh, and hopefully she goes to juvi too!
I can't get enough of this booing!
Hope he hears that in his dreams every night for the brief remainder of his shitty fucking life
The Knicks did not win the night 45 showed up. If that’s not an analogy for our lives right now, I don’t know what is.
Now that's the NEW YORK — FUCK YOU ... we were all hopin’ for !!!!!! 💙
Outstanding Well done, NYC. Keep it up!
They should shout out “Pedophile Protector!” non-stop
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!!
It would have been fun to show Mamdani immediately after Trump.
I was looking forward to this more than the actual game.
“Place the flat right hand directly over the heart.” The orange buffoon salutes?! He is not in the military nor a veteran…
Cowards showed him during the anthem thinking no one would boo during that. Nice job New York!!!
Five time draft dodger say what?
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.
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.
Prepare to cover Fox News all morning tomorrow talking about how the NYC crowd booed the anthem.
I'll never get that disgusting spray tan photo out of my head.
I heard it louder on another clip And I sure heard it on TV
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
New Yorkers don't cheer for rapists, pedophiles, traitors or liars.
What an ‘honour’ for tRUMP. The first president to be BOOED before, during and after the National Anthem.
the salute did not happen until he knew the camera was on him
He obviously loves being an a$$hole.
A draft dodger saluting is a special kind of evil!!!
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?
Good I’m glad his granddaughter was there to hear it! 💯🤬
Sad that Ivanka has aged out and he now resorts to his granddaughter Kai as his comforting arm Candy.
I love how they booed him and not the Spurs LMAfuckinO
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.
His people will dub in cheering crowds and use the video for political propaganda.
His granddaughter, Kai, standing right behind him is psychopathic. The minute the boos start, she starts to smile. That's a bully.
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
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
That massive, sustained booing just warms my heart.
Fucking moron saluting the national anthem like he's just met a North Korean general.
It makes me sick every time I see him salute given his disrespect for the military and, let’s face it, the entire country.
So they showed him during National Anthem betting he would not be booed (loudly). Embarrassing.
I heard too much cheering.
I'm sure he'll rant about it like a crybaby later tonight
He shouldn't salute, he's never been in the military. That's actually super offensive. Oh yeah, more booing please!
It's cause he sucks and is the worst
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.
Coward move showing him during the anthem. Maga will cry that NYC hates America
How does this twat get to salute?..... A draft dodger?... Day by day I hate him more....
Of course they show his rancid mug during the National Anthem to blunt the boos.
General Bone spurs with the salute. He's such a fucking idiot.
Stolen Valor plus inappropriate saluting. Cadet Bone Spurs is a black hole of Cowardice.
What’s the time delay, so they can scrub out the boos?
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.
(Felon) What a shithead.....I meant asshole..... Nahhh, he is both and even more. Waste of oxygen, a vile POS.....!
The crowd responded beautifully to the video feed, making it clear they were booing HIM and not the anthem.
Fox News will probably call those fans “Antifa”.
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
Seems a little unfair to this guy singing and kinda like a setup to make normies think NYC hates America.
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.
I’m not a veteran but it still pisses me off when that draft dodger salutes. POS.
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 the orange idiot saluting when everyone else has their hand over their heart? He can't do one normal thing.
He came for the boos.
He's in the wrong place
I’m sure Newsmax is saying ‘those weren’t boos, they were cheering for dear leader’ 🙄
That granddaughter has an evil grin 🧐
Is that his date next to him? 🚩🚩🚩
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.
If i was a criminal, I'd be criming tonight.
It must be awful to know you are this hated.
The POS had to show up and try to ruin the night for everyone else. Good for NYC.
Fuck that guy. Yeah Trump, I mean you.
Unfortunately, looks like 🌮 was a bad luck charm.
Kai is going to become the next trump con scammer.
He doesn’t even salute correctly. Must not have served in the military… eh?
And this was the New Yorkers that could afford $5k+ tickets! Imagine when you add in the rest of the city.
ABC choreograph’s showing Trump during the National anthem to minimize the booing.
he thinks they are cheering
If that's your salute, why fucking bother?
Note the very limp salute hand
He probably doesn't hear at as BOOO. He probably hears it as cheering. It's a dementia thang.
We need to stop doing the national anthem in this country
Why is he saluting 😂
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 🥇
Trump doesn't even know he's supposed to put his right hand over his heart, not do a salute, during the national anthem. Trump is not military personnel, and never has been. He believes he's "commander in chief" of the military so has the right to salute. Tacky though, since he refused to serve.
In the middle of the national anthem, moments before the first NBA Finals game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years, President Trump, the most despised leader in the world, stood at attention in his suite, surrounded by bulletproof glass, and was booed by New Yorkers.
He didn't attend to be loved. He attended just to be an ass
And big time. 🤣💪 He later fell asleep. I mean I know the game was never close so it was really quiet in there. Not!!! Dude is a serious health mess.
And there was Obama, sitting in the crowd with his coffee, getting cheered to the echo, so long that he had to stand up to acknowledge it. 😇
This is the kind of reckoning that should be routine for the most spectacularly wayward of US Presidents.
This is a preview of what's going to happen shortly at the forthcoming World Cup.
They booed him at the Bryant Park watch party too.
The whole damn planet was delighted by those boos. Well done, MSG! I sincerely hope it hurt Yam Tits' feelings so bad that he cried about it.
They should have started chanting PEDOPHILE PEDOPHILE PEDOPHILE!
He is soooo brave doing soooo many things outside his soooo needed ballroom.
Madison Square Garden: trump jinx ends winning streak for Knicks
Not his suite. It was Billionaire James Dolan's suite, dozing beside him.
I'm so mad they let a rapist in the garden, but not Charles Oakley!!!
Keep that L away from game 4 at Madison Stadium.
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.
Brazilian fans chanted "Hey Trump, go fuck yourself" during the US national anthem before Brazil's 2-1 women's football win over the USA in São Paulo.
You see he got boo'd by 20k fans in NYC last night. City hates him.
Mebbe this will actually be fun.
I think we're going to see quite a lot of that during this world cup.
Maybe I can look forward to it if that's going to happen at all of the games. Never been less bothered about a world cup than this fifa/trump shitshow we will shortly see
If enough fans do this kind of thing, Trump is going to throw one of his hissy fits and try to cancel the competition. Fifa will tell him to eff off and any residual goodwill he had left anywhere in the world will vanish once and for all.
👏👏👏 Hopefully we will have much much more of this.
Always liked the Brazilians 🙂
“After being greeted with rude gestures and critical signs ahead of the game before facing a chorus of deafening boos during the national anthem, the president was recorded later during the game with his eyes closed, appearing to have fallen asleep.” www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...
Disrupting the NBA finals so you can take a nap!
Their balloon is running out of helium. It will be replaced soon.
Did Dolan also genuinely doze off or is he faking to cover for Trump?
No, he was absorbing the game in his mind for better reflection on it.
Excessive sleepiness is a sign of dementia … and not of the early-stage variety.
"rude gestures" is how you would explain things to a child, weird to put in the context of amerihitler like this
His jowls just drag the rest of his face down like melting wax.
Even his own tie seems to be giving him a rude gesture
"Sports Fans The Straw That Ended A Presidency" would be a great headline.
The right wing always always always has their own version of events. For them Trump was not booed at all at MSG. He was cheered.
the reason this works, too, is that like 97% of republicans will never actually verify these claims, especially those that confirm their world view
They are really going with "they were saying Boo-urns." Amazing.
the age of social media has shown how many people are willing to lie to make a buck. It's really depressing.
He also saluted during the national anthem, which is a violation of protocol. Can you imagine the hysteria if Barack Obama did something contrary to protocol during a patriotic event?
Draft dodger fancies himself military having attended a military academy. He doesn’t have a heart so putting his hand on his chest is pointless. He does what wants and disgraces us every moment of every day.
Only active service people and veterans, not dopey President Dump and JD hillbilly
