U.S. president, Donald Trump was loudly booed during the US national anthem at Madison Square Garden last night, June 8.
People were cganting “U-S-A! U-S-A!” when the US president was shown on the jumbo screens ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Immediately, their chants gave way to deafening jeers.
Trump was seen smiling while holding a salute amid the booing.
Speaking to reporters as he prepared to depart from JFK airport in New York, he said: “It was, I think, mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic.”
Errol Ismail, a Brooklyn resident and owner of a fitness company, said: “I wish he wasn’t here. He’s not a real fan, and he’s just making things awful.
“We’ve waited a lifetime for this, and he’s made it about himself, like everything else.”
