[Highlight] Arena erupts in boos as The President is shown on the jumbotron
During the national anthem is a crazy time to get boo’d
Probably thought it was the safest time to show him and it backfired beautifully
“Let’s show him when it’s otherwise absolutely silent”
100% the thought and they’re right. If this was the reception he got during the national anthem imagine how it would’ve been at any other time lol
No, you would show him as the opposing team or refs come out.
You’re hired!
Knicks fans yelled shit during a moment of silence for Nick Nurses dead brother.
They’re not worried about booing during the anthem.
Also so they can spin it as a bunch of “woke deranged dumbocrats booing our great nation!” or some stupid shit like that
That’s why the crowd cheered extra loudly for the singer at the end, to make it clear they weren’t booing him or the anthem.
That’s not the clip that will be shown on Fox news.
Fox is state propaganda. They will never stop being the victim.
Yup. This is it. In their minds, the “safest” time to do it. Also, if it’s normally silent, their sound engineer can pump the cheers in. Worst case scenario, it allows that lying administration to spin it.
He’s been doing this for years, never works.
They don’t know new Yorkers
Then anthem deserves to be booed with him there desecrating everything
You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think they knew exactly what they were doing.
They thought they were slick.
“There’s no way they’ll boo during the National Anthem.”
NYC….hold my 40oz I got this.
Edit : fuck trump
My Mayor is Muslim My Bagels are Jewish My Christian is Dior Knicks in 4
Get it right man.
My mayor Muslim My bagel Jewish My Christian Dior KNICKS IN 4
Just Booing the guy who bragged about having the tallest building in NYC directly after 9⁄11. The guy has 0 class and should be booed 24⁄7 before he even became president.
during 9⁄11.
He bragged about it during 9⁄11. Death and tragedy in his hometown, 5 miles from him, and all he could think about was how there were no longer as many buildings taller than his (His boast was wrong, it wasn’t’ the tallest, not by a long shot)
Which doesn’t even include him repeatedly lying about being down at Ground Zero helping out the first responders (he never did) and about seeing “thousands of Muslims” celebrating the fall of the towers in NJ (complete fabrication). Guy is infinite levels of selfish scumbag
It should’ve ended then and there. These people are so stupid.
Never a bad time to boo that shit stain
Literally interrupting the anthem just to boo is insane. His approval rating must be so so bad. Never seen this before. They definitely thought this was the only safe time to show him and could sneak him by.
Maybe he shouldn’t have started random unnecessary wars causing massive inflation and innocents to die.
Or maybe he shouldn’t have fucked kids.
This. He is a pedophile
or maybe his parents shouldn’t have fucked
His mom should have swallowed him
and*
“Or” is not really the language you want to use here because it implies either/or situation…
Maybe he shouldn’t have started a dumb war AND shouldn’t have fucked kids
I actually feel bad for whoever was singing it. Probably a bucket list moment totally shit on.
I assure you that the broadway actor singing the national anthem knew why they were booing and doesn’t care. He would have boo’d too. And they cheered plenty for him during the crescendo and finale.
Yeah, Trump isn’t exactly popular among the “musicians in New York City” demographic.
I’m 99% sure the dude enjoyed the booing.
Smiled knowingly through it and got their roses once the grossest person in my lifetime was off screen. Satisfying.
The dude KILLED it. Absolutely insane talent and execution. I think he actually can wear this as a badge of honor. They certainly weren’t booing him and he handled it so gracefully.
It was a phenomenally sung anthem.
It was no Fergie
“….BAAAAAA-aaahhhh-NUR-her yet waaaaayyyyyiiiiiaaaaaavvvvvve……”
*cuts to Draymond cracking up
Nah the crowd went wild for him later in the song.
Trump will say they were booing the singer not him.
I mean, they might get another chance for a pregame national anthem. I doubt they’ll ever get to experience this again lol.
The people who sing anthems at these kind of profile events have typically done it before. I do sound for an nfl team and have seen some of the same faces quite a few times over the years. My point is while sure maybe this meant a lot to them, they’re professional af at this level and were most likely (like 99.some percent likely) aware they were going to cut to Trump during the performance and would of been told at rehearsal.
Oh, those are much louder than what was shown on TV
Yeah they definitely played cheering audio over the boos.
Right? Which didn’t make sense. You don’t cheer someone during an anthem. Especially in this situation where you know people will be booing so your noise is just going to make it louder
Yeah but there’s too many boot lickers in America that need to appeals to this fucker’s fragile ego nonstop
Adam Silvers fellating of trump in the pregame show was so shameless and pathetic
I assume the bootlickers are living vicariously through their dear leader.
They’re running the broadcast networks.
His supporters shouldn’t even be watching. He has told them to boycott the league over and over.
They do that for him quite a lot
What a pathetic group of insecure men America has produced. They need their own applause tracks wherever they go for their feel feels!
That is insane! So much easier to tell they’re boos.
They could be saying Boourns
I was saying Boourns
I wouldnt put it past disney for this to be nefarious but nba sound mixing has always been so bad that i kinda assume it was run of the mill incompetence.
It’s been done for a few sporting events he’s attended.
Boos have never existed in Eurasia
My first thought! The changed the audio on the TV broadcast. What a joke.
Agreed I thought it was half and half nah
ABC lowered the volume of the booing on the telecast.
They couldn’t even get it low enough haha
I mean if they didn’t they’d have blown all our speakers out at home
We live in a propaganda state
Complete State controlled media has never been closer than it is now. 90% of the networks are owned by people who trade favors with the president
100%
I heard TSN let them be heard full blast on their broadcast
Could be louder ngl
They did him a massive favor by cutting to him during the anthem.
Bitch made broadcasters
Owned by the epstein class, media has been fucked
And cutting away really quickly
This was definitely the case, they thought showing him when most fans wouldn’t be paying attention would lessen the blow, unfortunately NY hated this bozo so you could have had orphans singing while holding puppies and he still would have been booed
This is the rich crowd lol
It’s New York. Trum lost by like a billion points there
He actually did pretty well for a Republican in New York. He won 43% of the vote in 2024 compared to 37% in 2016 and 2020, and it was the best performance for a Republican there in like 35 years.
In NY State, not NYC. NY state has lots of pockets of republicans especially far upstate.
I decided to look this up because I’m crazy. In 2016, he got 9.7% in Manhattan, 9.5% in the Bronx, 17.5% in Brookyln, and 21.8% in Queens. In 2020, he got 12.2%, 15.9%, 22.1%, and 26.9% in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brookyln, and Queens. In 2024, he got 17.2%, 27%, 27.4%, and 37% in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brookyln, and Queens.
So, his percentages actually improved every election. The total number of votes also increased so it wasn’t a lower turnout.
Not all that shocked but my point stands. He didn’t get 43% of the vote in NYC haha.
He won 43% in NY state, like 30% in NYC.
Even if he only got 100000 votes, it’s probably a lot of the people who can afford to be there not the millions who didn’t
That’s not how NYC politics works. You can’t fill a stadium with billionaires, and the ordinary millionaires of NYC are very blue. Not that the old money of NYC has ever liked him either.
And he’s a useful idiot for the gazillionaires who do support him, but I doubt they’d cheer very loudly for him. There’s no chance the stadium wasn’t going to boo him.
Rich NY crowd hates trump too
Still happy to hear obvious boos
[removed]
They def did with that broadcast shot. As much as they could.
It was pretty loud on TV but honestly it sounded more mixed than this. 🤨
Half the crowd is in line still; it’s during the national anthem; the broadcast still lowered the audio; and the boos were STILL clearly audible.
No. That shit was loud.
Half the crowd still in line
So fucking shitty of them to use THAT moment to show him on the jumbo to undercut the singer. Fuck them and fuck ABC who did the same thing.
Probably was intentional to use the national anthem singer as a meat shield of sorts to soften the boos.
And now all the right-wing media get to be like “OMFGGGG THE LIBERALS BOOED DURING THE ANTHEM!”
And I’ll boo it again, there ain’t nothing to be proud of in this nation right now.
You wouldn’t even get me to stand rn. On my momma.
who gives a fuck what they say there is no pleasing them
“I’ve seen what you cheer for, your boos mean nothing”
The national anthem don’t even slap.
Why it should be replaced with the Int’l Players Anthem
And it didn’t come close to working. Can’t believe some people on this sub thought he wouldn’t get booed
They believe a republican won the most votes in the California primary
Ngl, I really wanted to hear a full-on “Fuck Trump” chant though.
Like Rodger Goodell coming out with kids who beat cancer to announce draft picks lmao
They knew what they were doing and it still didn’t work lmao.
Yeah, Trump will later say that the fans hate America for booing him during the Anthem
This version of America? Yeah, we hate it, and rightfully so.
They tried to hide him behind the national anthem fucking cowards
They probably did it because they thought the fans wouldn’t boo during the song.
Absolutely that was the calculus and intent. Without a doubt.
That’s happened every game he’s gone to recently, he only gets shown during the anthem.
Why is he saluting lol
He wasn’t saluting the whole time either, just when he knew he would be on camera… fucking lazy ass clown.
He can barely sip water from a glass. I’m sure that 5 second salute was very tough for Mr bone spurs. Wait, maybe he is a fan of the spurs all along!
Person. Man. Woman. Camera. TV.
He totally has a very good brain.
Cause hes a fucking dumbass
The truth has never been so simple.
what an insult to dumbasses
I’m a dumbass and I’m offended! I may be dumb but I’m no Trump!
He’s not really sure where he is so reflex was to shit his pants and salute.
He uses mailbox inspired hand signals to let his security know when his pants are full.
Hand up/salute means his pants are full
arms down means not yet
He was too busy raping children to learn the proper practices.
Cause he’s a vapid performative traitorous pedophile
He must be confused and thinks he’s in North Korea
Not to give the tangerine anything but its not unusual for the president to salute. Its not an official thing but since the position is also the Commander and Chief of the armed forces its allowed.
Thats because a bunch of prior presidents served.
Cause he thinks it makes him look tough and “military” which distracts from his never having served and establishes him alongside the military in the minds of his supporters.
If his supporters were smart, it wouldn’t work, but they’re not so it does.
I need “Fuck Donald Trump” chants
Jeff-ry! Ep-stein! 👏👏 👏👏👏
He’d do his double fisting dance to that
Pls lets not chant for jeffrey epstein 💀
The New York financier?
I prefer, ‘Obama, Obama, Obama’ chants.
I heard them on the broadcast right after the anthem
They thought nobody would boo during the anthem
The thing they didn’t realize is a lot of people aren’t “proud” to be American’s right now
As a Canadian, I’m happy
Wow, Mamdani’s NYC has already been trained to boo the anthem and the flag.
/s
Guarantee there will be dumbass chud grifters saying this exact thing for real
God, I hate this time line where that’s a thing.
You put the slash s there but I wouldn’t doubt it if my dad texted me that tomorrow
Straight out of the Quran!
If real knick fans could afford tickets those boos woulda been deafening
Yeah I don’t think rich people hate him as much as the average American. He’s been a great president for making the wealthy more wealthy.
Poor people actually voted for him pretty evenly across income levels. However, poor people have been more disproportionately hurt by his policies, so maybe they’ve shifted more.
New Yorkers have hated that piece of shit for his entire life. Good to remind him.
A reminder that Trump was held liable for RAPE in a court of law
He’s crying inside
He always is
Nah. He’s a narcissist. His delusion will make him believe there were wild cheers and only a few “losers” who were booing.
Crying inside his diaper
And shitting on the outside
He’s not though. A narcissist at his level is successfully able to cognitively block out any and everything that doesn’t align with his view that he’s beloved by everyone and the very few that don’t are “nasty people with TDS”
It’s what kills me inside. He’ll die never having answered for anything he’s done after having lived one of the most privileged lives anyone in human history has lived.
Waiting for r/conservative to call this fake
“They weren’t booing Trump, they were booing the couple of losers who were booing Trump.”
“They weren’t booing Trump, they were booing the Spurs/the singer.”
“I only hear loud cheers.”
“And even if they were booing, it’s because they all have TDS!!” #librultears #iloveorangechode
No they will just say nba fans hate America
Why does no one respect our criminal president commander-in-thief who is-a/protects pedophiles? 😭
Nah they’re too busy crying about the LA mayoral election actually thinking a gem carrying weirdo would win.
That’s hilarious that they live in a world where they think deep blue LA would flip to red.
It’s early morning in Russia, first shift doesn’t start for a couple of hours
Should be way louder for talking all that shit
Why is he saluting?
He’s demented
Because he’s on camera
Wemby got louder boos than the President
That’s because the broadcast muted the boos for Trump lol
The video isn’t from the broadcast it’s a fan video
A lot of these “fans” are millionaires who lick Trump’s boot. Most of the real fans are outside
Well yeah, the fact that there were any boos at all during the anthem speaks volumes.
This Bostonian fucking loves New Yorkers. Bravo…But need Spurs to extend the series tonight. No hoops until October when this series ends.
As a pacers fan I find it impossible to root for the knicks but if they do win this will make it hurt less.
Shoulda showed Mandani afterwards lol
SpongeBob / Squidward behind the curtain vibes.
Wish the boos were louder honestly
All the no flairs in here.. “oh the boos weren’t that loud” Lol
Fuck Donald Trump
Why does a draft dodger salute during the anthem?
Why does anyone salute during the anthem. It’s not what you’re even supposed to do
I was just saying how I can’t wait to see in arena video with the boos and my Mom was saying, oh maybe tomorrow and I was like no they’ll probably be up already
Come on that boo for Trump was pathetic. Probably 50⁄50 to cheers.
Murica fucked lol
Rightfully deserved
Why is private bone spurs saluting?
Because he feels that by leading the nation, he’s the highest member of the military. Too bad he was too chicken shit to actually serve. Based upon everything I’ve seen, he for sure was/is too stupid to be an officer.
LMAO its like that spongebob episode when squidward steps out and everyone boos then cheers for the singer.
Saluting for no reason dude so fried.
The boos were worse for Wemby.
Had more smoke for Wemby than Trump, soft group
They’re yelling boo-urns…
[deleted]
I don’t hear any cheering in the clip
“It was the loudest applause ever heard. Some say I broke the record.”-Trump tonight
I just knew this subreddit would be foaming at the mouth to post this
Won’t say this often, but thank you Knicks fans. Expected it to be tame since only the super rich can afford this game, but well done
Well yeah hes kind of a disgrace to mankind, good for them
I like the fact he didnt start his salute till he was shown on tv.
That’s the clearest video of it I’ve heard so far
Trump jinxes Knicks.
13 game win streak GONE.
Great job, Donnie!
