Donald Trump was present at the third game of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden, in New York.
During the national anthem ceremony, the image of the American president appeared on the pavilion’s screen and was received with whistles from several fans present.
🚨HOLY SHIT: The boos just happened AGAIN and Trump stops clapping as they get even LOUDER by the end of the clip.
This is humiliating.
