Trump Responds To Being Booed By Knicks Fans In The Most Trump Way Possible

President Donald Trump was heartily booed by fans as he attended Monday night’s NBA finals game between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.

But Trump didn’t hear it that way.

“I think mostly cheers,” he told reporters after the game. “It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic.”

That doesn’t match footage of the event, or the White House pool report, which notes that the president was “thunderously booed” when he was shown on screen inside Madison Square Garden in New York.

Those boos were caught from multiple angles inside the arena. They were picked up by the TV coverage, and also happened at watch parties.

Fans outside the arena could be heard cursing at Trump as he arrived at the end of a clip the president himself posted on social media.

He was even blamed by some fans for jinxing the Knicks and breaking the team’s 13-game playoff winning streak.

Given all that, Trump’s critics on social media weren’t buying his claim that it was “mostly cheers.”

They responded with some jeers of their own:

The marching orders to MAGA have been sent. Everyone who was performatively offended by Trump getting booed during the Knicks-Spurs game now has to say he wasn’t booed. https://t.co/YbZ1aeuaCb
