Donald Trump booed by crowd during basketball game in New York (video)

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.”
