Knicks fans at MSG boo the president during National Anthem
[removed]
Is it normal for the president to salute during the anthem? I only ever see them saluting in a military setting, or when returning a salute. This looks super performative
No, you don’t salute the flag during the anthem as a civilian. Dude’s a loser that convinced other losers he’s not a loser
People are downvoting you, but you’re right. Trump is the commander-in-chief, a civilian position that SOUNDS like a military rank, that commands the military.
Hes a kid fucker how does that title sound
Like the truth.
THE draft dodgin’, inheritance wastin’, pussy grabbin’, dictator envyin’ embarrassment of the nation.
You don’t even salute if you are active duty and not in uniform. You are only supposed to salute during the national anthem/presentation of colors if you are in uniform. Otherwise, you are supposed to cover your heart with your hand.
Veterans can salute during national anthem now. Aside from that, Trump is a dumb ass.
bars
Didn’t he salute a North Korean general?
Anything for a photo-op
He sure did.
that was great because even all the North Koreans looked confused as fuck by it.
Most vets don’t even do it because it just comes off as weird and performative
Most of the things Trump does are weird and performative though, so this is completely on brand.
No it’s not normal just like everything else he does
You aren’t supposed to salute during the anthem anyway lol he’s such a dumbfuck
Yeah well you’re also not supposed to salute generals from foreign countries, but here we are.
Just say pedophile
Especially when you’ve never been in the military….or should I say lied to get out of the military?
He’s a civilian and shouldn’t even be fucking saluting. You put your hand over your heart or you stand there.
A draft dodging civilian at that
Captain Bone SPURS. The Knicks got cursed by this pedophile tonight
God could you imagine being stuck in Vietnam with him?? I would run to Hanoi Hannah immediately
I loved when he saluted that North Korean general during his first term. Even Kim was like wtf.
Everything about his existence is performative.
you’re not even supposed to salute for the national anthem unless you’re an active military service member and even then you’re only supposed to if you’re in uniform.
He’s performative and so traparently fake, but so much of this country is just hollow, empty people who love phony bs.
You spelled pedophile wrong
They tried to soften the blow by showing him during the anthem. Didn’t work lol
I also love the crowd giving major applause to the singer later in the anthem so this loser cant spin it as “the radical left liberals were booing the national anthem”
Edit: Yes, I know the loser president is going to say what he wants. I happen to think optics still matter when it comes to the people who voted for him that are currently second guessing their decision and leaving the party.
To every defeatist who thinks it’s too late, I know damn well every one of you is still going to show up at the polls this November. Posing as a doomer on reddit doesn’t make you look cool, it makes you look like Trump’s bitch.
He will say exactly that anyway. Your reasonable post assumes reality, context and what actually happened matters to these people.
It wont affect the cultists, but there are a lot of people who voted for the guy that are too scared and embarrassed to admit it.
Stuff like this happening could keep them from showing up at the midterms. My uncle, for example, just recently left the Republican Party.
I totally understand what you’re saying, but we can’t let our apathy blind us to the fact that there are still small gains to be made on the margins.
They also were completely silent when the Spurs were on screen, too, and then immediately started booing during the starting lineup intro – even more spin protection.
Knicks fans are pretty smart, I guess, lol.
They do it every time
I love that… noticed it too… took em a second but they didn’t let the national anthem stop them (weird af cheering that in first place but that’s a different convo)
Cheering a performance of the anthem isn’t really weird, I dislike anthems at sports games but that’s just basic manners for the singer.
Sucks for the performer. To be able to sing in the NBA Finals, in one of the most iconic arenas/stadium, and have your performance get drowned out by boos due to one of the most vile human beings being there… just awful for that performer.
Needs some reels shorts and TikTok’s to start circulating. I think they drowned it out on the tv.
Shocked it wasn’t muted
They hardcore lowered the crowd volume
I wanna see a video from.someones phone. Gotta be one
There’s one on PublicFreakout subreddit. It definitely sounds like they lowered the boos.
You got a link? I couldn’t find it
https://np.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/1u0q32y/trump_booed_very_loudly_at_msg_for_game_3_of_the/
Am i crazy or did the broadcast and in a slight mix of cheers?
They definitely clipped the crowd so the boos wouldn’t seem too intense, made adjustments live (which is why you heard the boos die down randomly in this clip but it never dies down in the clip I linked). I don’t know which adjustments but considering the volume of the crowd itself didn’t change from the first phase of boos to the second, I’m guessing that yeah they did mix in some cheers
There’s active suppression going on of this shit circulating too. What a joke
It’s hilarious because the boos were, to appropriate a Trumpism, too big to rig. Even with them clearly modifying the audio and mixing in a tiny amount of cheers, they didn’t have the capability to filter it out enough probably because the boos were so loud that the only way to cut them out would be to completely mute the singer’s microphone.
Absofuckinlutely they did. Pigs protecting pedophiles. NBA is full of blood money.
woah no way the league that got exposed for rigging games and somehow managed to spin it as a lone ref doing it all by himself is full of blood money
I believe the exact words were, “What we have here is an isolated incident with a rogue referee”.
Sure.. And my mother’s a virgin.
I’m at the game. There were no cheers

Sorry I don’t know how to make it look pretty
Has anyone really stopped to think about how insane it is for a television broadcast to lower the volume of boos for a president like that. It’s some real fucking dear leader bullshit. Total fucking dystopian bullshit
The United States has always been on some dystopian bullshit, especially for people of color.
we sing the anthem before every sports ball game, the nationalism was already in the arena
Good shit New York
Keep booing that. I know the crowd is different from the usual demographic money wise but we heard ya
Even the rich people in NYC overwhelmingly despise Trump
they hated trump before the rest of the world hated trump
Trump has always held a grudge that the old money never accepted him as one of them. The city knew him as a crook for decades before he became a politician.
And even Trump aside, NYC is remarkable for having a pretty low association between wealth and political slant. It’s the more blue collar areas that are more in favor of Trump. UES/UWS are deep blue.
they for sure intentionally showed him during the anthem because they hoped people would be reluctant to boo during the anthem
or when they do boo it’s a news piece about liberals booing america
Felt like they lowered the volume on it
It was already lower compared to all the other audience audio lol
It was. The boos were just so loud even turning it down is still loud.
ABC is done with his shit lol
They wouldn’t have dropped the volume if they were done with him
If they really were, they’d bring Terry Moran back.
Ngl those boos were louder than I expected with all the rich people in attendance
They hated him first lol
He’s from Queens. He’s desperately wanted to be accepted by Manhattan his whole life but they never viewed him as a real “old money” elite.
His local reputation was always the scumbag real estate developer/scam artist from Queens
I been tryna say these guys are a lot different from the Lakers rich crowd
Eh, as someone who grew up in California and is now in the Northeast, and knows lots of people in SF/LA/NYC/Boston – the rich people of California and the Northeast all generally hate Trump. Though by “rich” I mean 1-10% types, not 0.01% types – who are different.
Yeah, wealthy educated people like doctors or successful engineers hate this dude while ultra wealthy business owners and landlords are the ones that love him
There are probably people in the crowd who have been personally ripped off by him lol
Literally every single person in that crowd has been ripped off by him in some manner.
Fuckin hipsters
It’s gotta be an absolute nightmare for them to watch this loser get elected twice
This.
I’d fallen for the Apprentice narrative, but then when I was living/working in NYC, any business person or Wall Street broker or banker or whatever I met knew he was a total clown. The only ones that purposely interacted with him were the ones in on the scams. Even by mafia standards he was tainted, and known to be a coward. All proven true. Only thing missing was the pedo stuff.
A lot of executives hate Trump too but they’re also craven cowards.
The rich people in NYC account for the vast majority of Democratic Donations in the nation lol
This was always my understanding. Trump was hated in NYC long before the world found out how big a sack of shit he was. But I don’t live there so that was all second/third hand information.
Australia banned him from doing business here in the 80s due to mob connections.
Everyone always knew how big of a piece of shit he was, new yorkers just had first hand knowledge.
That’s the thing: NYs elite hates Trump. They see him for what he is: a slimy con artist snake oil salesman. That’s why he’s hates NY…cause he was never accepted into the elite class here like he wishes he was.
It is always funny to look at the electoral map because with a few exceptions, the places that love him the most in NYC are filled with people he absolutely despises.
https://projects.thecity.nyc/election-results-voter-turnout-Harris-Trump-map/
The rich elites in NYC hate Trump. They see him as a puffed-up loser failson of a new money slum lord. He spent his whole life trying to get into their world and was never really able to do it because he was always seen as cheap, tasteless and talentless.
Literally everything Trump does is because the Manhattan elite looked down (rightfully so) as a nepo baby slumlord
Rich New Yorkers are bluer and hate him even more independent of that
It could be argued most the rich people in NY hate him the most. He was a joke to them before his political days. There’s a reason he moved to FL.
It’s Manhattan. The rich people are not conservatives.
It’s New York City. They hate him no matter what your level of income is.
[deleted]
Yeah the in arena videos I’ve seen were louder
Rich people hate his guts too for starting an unnecessary war and screwing with their portfolios.
Why do people think there is major overlap between the rich people who like Trump and the rich people in New York who can afford to go to a knicks game?
Plus most of the people I know who actually like trump are poor as shit. If anything most of the knicks fans who would have cheered got priced out of this game.
“Are they booing me?”
“No, they’re saying Poo-urns”
Manhattan voted 80% for Harris. Rich NYers hate him
They tried to sneak him in during the national anthem, lmao.
Cameraman wanted to hear the boos during the anthem, they have my respect.
Not just the camera man, but the dudes/dudettes in the control room/truck that cut to the camera guy that was definitely instructed to keep their camera on Trump at all times.
Camera people don’t decide what’s shown on TV. That would be the producer.
Director
Probably knew their best chance at him not getting booed really badly was during the national anthem.
Or they did it so the GQP news can make the headlines “Mamdani’s socialist NYC boos national anthem at NBA Finals”
“Show him during the national anthem so that we can spin this into them booing the country”
That will be the take in conservative circles. They’re so predictable.
“And then you’ve got New Yorkers, booing our national anthem. Hmm. I wonder, if they hate this country so much - why not just leave? They can take their darling Mamdani and go form that communist utopia they’ve been dreaming of”
read that in a tucker carlson voice
What’s going on? What are we doing?
That’s the RULE. That’s the GOAL NOW.
There’s no helping them. They’ll use anything to insult other presidents but the second anyone criticizes Trump it becomes “oh my God you’re ATTACKING the president of the United States!!!” I’m so fucking sick of hearing his supporters spew idiotic garbage
I dare republicans try spin this as him being cheered, I fuckin fare them 😂
Edit: downvote me all you want GOP, you guys are the most delusional people on this earth
People in this thread really said “it’s mostly cheers” LOL
“I was saying boourns.”
It’s gonna happen lol
They can spin anything how they want it. The delusion is real.
Trademark of a cult
He’s gonna say they were all cheers tomorrow. It needed to be a deafening Epstein files chant to stick
Everyone on Xitter is bragging about how Trump got loud cheers. I wish I was kidding but these people are fucked
Not nearly loud enough.
I would bet the broadcast toned it down
crowd pop at the end of the anthem was also “quiet”, they def turned down the audio
Someone has a phone vid in r/PublicFreakout and yeah the broadcast turned down the boos.
Fuck ABC for choosing that moment knowing full well he would get booed to hell, incredible singer deserved his moment there!
Probably hoped that fans wouldn’t boo during the anthem and just completely miscalculated people’s disdain for him.
He only has standing room. He could be anywhere
He is everywhere. He is no where.
I am Zohran.
Zohran’s at Bryant Park tonight
More and more people are saying it. You hear it all the time.
Some say the smartest people. I’ve had people come up and tell me they’re so smart, no one is smarter
Can’t wait for him to come down and sing the Israeli national anthem next.
They obviously showed him during the anthem to minimize booing. New Yorkers were ready to let him have it.
It’s rare you see a crowd boo someone over the anthem. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before. Really shows how loathsome he is.
Americans hate corruption too
Not nearly enough of us, sadly.
Some do. Millions of others vote for them.
Would have been hilarious if they cut to Mamdani right after and he got cheered lol
Haha you know they definitely talked about that. “DONT FUCKING SHOW MAMDANI AFTER TRUMP!!!”
I booed too at my television
I heard the boos, turned to see what it was, saw him smiling like a little douchebag, flipped him off, and went back to playing my video game.
That fucking smirk
Boos and cheers are the same to a narcissistic egomaniac
And his granddaughter there as well who says she’s “apolitical” and doesn’t understand the hate towards her
She’s lucky he can’t get a boner anymore
The saluting… everything this guy does is stupid.
Imagine a draft dodger saluting the flag.
Guy who was too busy to show up to son’s wedding btw
The dude looked like he was smirking because, despite the narcissism and ego, he’s an internet troll to his core.
Glad the crowd in NYC gave him the business like the national embarrassment he is.
That’s Kai, right? She’s smiling like a principal when one of the students at a graduation calls out the school and district for discrimination.
Kai: “At least he isn’t trying to fuck me when the cameras are rolling”
It was mixed reactions at best
It really was. Compare it to the Spurs coming out and the Knicks coming out. It was in the middle of those 2 as far as boos and cheers go.
Good job Knicks fans 👏👏👏
Trump raped kids
Trump started another endless war in the middle east
Trump is anti-science and oversaw more than a million deaths of our fellow US citizens during the covid-19 pandemic
Trump is better off not being here anymore for the good of our world.
Appreciate the crowd cheering parts of the anthem so you could appreciate what actual enthusiasm sounded like. Clear as day. Fuck Trump.
That was a good Natty by that dude. He deserved that recognition from the crowd.
I hate pedophiles
They 1000% lowered the volume for the telecast but Knicks fans can’t be silenced.
Won the popular vote btw
Good
reddit gaslighting themselves and cant hear cheers correctly lmao!
The man notoriously ducked serving in the military as a young man and now thinks he has the right to salute the flag. Pathetic.
I <3 New York
ugh cuts out too soon. Anyone catch Champagnie’s smirk?
Is that his granddaughter with him? Is she just totally brainwashed? What can she possibly be thinking hearing all those boos and smiling?
Yes and she has been raised to be a grifter just like the rest of the bunch. She’s a DEI grand daughter.
Boo the pedophile!
