Trump Being Booed at UFC 244 Event a Surprise, Says Political Scientist: 'This Should Be His Crowd'
By Tareq Haddad On 11/3/19 at 5:16 AM EST


President Donald Trump received heavy booing on Saturday night as he attended an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event in New York City.

Though some cheered upon the president's arrival into Madison Square Garden for UFC 244—who entered alongside his two sons, some high-ranking Republicans, UFC President Dana White and a handful of Secret Service agents—boos dominated from the sell-out crowd, according to videos shared on social media.

A small anti-Trump protest was also staged outside the arena—New York's most storied venue that lies in the heart of the city that Trump had previously called his home.

A number of people tweeted footage of the booing and added their reactions to the jeering.

Ian Bremmer, a political scientist who founded the Eurasia Group, said: "Honestly surprised to see Trump booed at Ultimate Fighting Championship. This should be his crowd."

Another Twitter user, Keating Thomas, said: "Trump got booed at a UFC match? That's like if Bernie [Sanders] got booed at a vegan bakery in Brooklyn."

1. If he has lost the "FU" crowd he is toast.

2. I love this comment:

Replying to @ianbremmer
I get why people think this should be his crowd. But as a lifelong MMA fan, I feel Trump is the antithesis of a true martial artist. Trump has no discipline, no decency, no humility, and no values. He abuses power that he doesn't even deserve.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Hmmm.

Thought the same until our Millennial Niece just informed we Geezers ,this is the new Millennial Sport and for the most part,they down right hate Trump.

[Vinca]

4. Trump claims it was like walking into a Trump rally. Lie #999,999.

[TeamPooka]

5. The media is confusing the ultimate fighting audience with a fake wrestling audience

The Vince McMahon fake wrestling cartoonish show, that’s trumps audience. UFC is more akin to a boxing audience
Plus this is one made up of New Yorkers who hate the son of a bitch
no surprises here media

6. Scumbag is finally seeing what regular Americans feel about him...not staged, not actors, not...

anything else but the truth. Personally I hope he rots, and all of the scumbags that enable him too.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. make that a slow rot, from each of his 2 anuses toward the center

[CrispyQ]

7. He thought he was going to be well received at MSG?

New York hates you, Asshole.

[MarcA]

8. His crowd is on Wall Street, not MSG. n/t

[struggle4progress]

9. "We all thought he had finally moved to Florida, and then it's like, oh shizz! he's baaack!"

[stopdiggin]

10. in NY? Like Trump has great numbers in NYC?

and then the day after he CHANGED residence to FL? Gee, what a shocker!

[yuiyoshida]

11. more like the WWE

UFC fighters seem to have more sense.

[C_U_L8R]

12. It should be no surprise at all

Trump’s popularity is overstated. Just look at the polls. This political scientist isn’t paying attention.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Maybe he should try Roller Derby or dog fighting.

Some of those people may be his fans.

[musette_sf]

15. I think tractor pulls are about the only venue

he can count on.

[NightWatcher]

16. I have to go to the Daytona 500 this year, wonder if he'll show for that.

If he gets booed at NASCAR, he should go live on a deserted island, because he's finished.
