Important to stress the stadium is at most 10% full and the start time has been pushed to 2:30pm ET.
Rolex founder was suspected Nazi spy
MI5 suspected that the German founder of Rolex was a Nazi spy, the Telegraph can reveal.
Formerly classified documents at the National Archives show how secret service agents feared Hans Wilsdorf should be blacklisted due to his strong sympathies for Adolf Hitlers regime.
The Second World War papers, dated between 1941 and 1943, state that Wilsdorf was most objectionable and suspected of espionage.

(3,194 posts)Trump's motorcade kept everyone stuck on the highway, and then his Secret Service and security kept everyone standing in line to get in. The crowd filled in, with most people only missing a set or two.

(3,194 posts)It looked to me that the stands weren't full until the second set was done. TSF really screwed things up for the folks who wanted to see good tennis.
Wiz Imp
(10,423 posts)But if I missed even 1 full set, I'd be totally pissed. If I missed the first 2 sets, I'd be so angry at Trump, I can't say what I'd want to do without getting banned. Missing a couple games-no big deal. Once it went past that, I'd be screaming for Trump to give me a refund for my overpriced ticket.

(2,173 posts)That definitely did not sound like booing. They were cheering him.
Wiz Imp
(10,423 posts)Maybe 10% cheers, 90% jeers.

If you can't hear that, then I don't know what to say.

Donald Trump booed as he causes hundreds of fans to miss US Open final
You are aware that people in New York despise Trump probably more than anywhere else? And People were forced to stand outside in line for an extra hour or two? And you seriously think they were cheering? Wow! Just Wow!! I'm speechless.
BeerBarrelPolka
(2,173 posts)You are failing big time. I'm stating what I hear in the clip. If you don't hear it then that's fine. Save the emoticons for someone you can bully. I assure you, I am not a person you can bully.
Wiz Imp
(10,423 posts)However, I do wonder how anyone can hear a crowd booing and think it sounds like cheers...
