Donald Trump met with loud boos during national anthem at NBA Finals Game 3

Source: USA Today/Yahoo

NEW YORK — United States President Donald Trump is at Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals, just as he promised.

Trump officially became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game when he arrived at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs on Monday, June 8.

After a few chants of "USA, USA, USA" for the flag, Trump was booed loudly when he was shown on the large video screens during the national anthem. The president was saluting and smiled slightly as the boos grew. Once the feed showed Knicks players, the cheering returned.

Trump was in a suite, protected by thick glass on three sides, though open on top. EPA administrator Lee Zeldin and Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trump's granddaughter Kai were sighted in the suite with Trump, according to the White House pool report.

He's "saluting" during the anthem.

HE NEVER SERVED. He's not a veteran. But he's too fucking stupid to know the rules for honoring the anthem.
