Donald Trump’s appearance on the big screen at the U.S Open was met with thunderous boos as he attended the men's singles final for the first time in a decade flanked by Cabinet members and family. The president arrived at Arthur Ashe Stadium in his native Queens, New York at 1.45 p.m. Sunday causing a delay to the start of play.

Long lines snaked throughout the stadium as tennis fans faced extra security measures ahead of the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Trump attended with son-in-law Jared Kushner and granddaughter Arabella, as well as White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.

During the national anthem, Trump’s face appeared on the jumbotron for around 30 seconds and loud booing could be heard around the stadium. Cheers went up when the Star-Spangled Banner concluded, and a large flag was unfurled on court.

After Alcaraz took the first set, Trump’s face appeared again on the screen, this time to a mix of boos, cheers and clapping. The White House responded to the reports of booing by calling it "fake news", and including a TV clip of Trump smiling and saluting while the giant American flag was unfurled.

1. Are odds makers in Vegas taking bets on him stealing another sports trophy?

2. Any time is a good time to boo and hiss Trumpsky...

before he starts executing detractors with AA guns, like Kim Jong Un.

3. The US Open crowd has been an embarrassment this year

Some of the clips I watch had a bunch of rowdy morons in the audience causing the umpire to delay serves trying to quiet them down. I don't remember seeing this much of this type of childish behavior in the past. Our country is certainly earning it's title of banana republic with absolutely no class.
