## Trump ‘thunderously booed’ while attending NBA Finals Game 3 in New York City

Authored by ms.now

President Donald Trump was “thunderously booed” Monday night at Madison Square Garden in New York City when he was shown on the Jumbotron ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals, according to the White House press pool report.

The stadium’s reaction comes after some New York Knicks fans warned he would not receive a warm welcome during the home game matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, despite New York City being the president’s hometown.

The White House press pool report described the boos as “loud and long” and noted the reaction “quickly changed to cheers when the camera quickly panned to [Knicks guard] Jalen Brunson on the court.”.

Trump was “standing with his hand over his heart” during the National Anthem as he was met with boos, the pool report said, adding that he was standing between his granddaughter Kai Trump and Knicks owner James Dolan, who “seemed to be smirking at the boos.”.

At least one Trump official made a courtside appearance with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick seated next to rappers Fat Joe and famed producer DJ Khaled.

The Knicks came into Monday night’s game leading the series 2-0, and fans are hoping for a sweep.

But their 13-game winning streak came to a grinding halt Monday night with a 115-111 loss to the Spurs. »

In the end, the IUD removal was easy and relatively painless, with only brief discomfort from the injection.

“I’m glad there are doctors that are really taking the fact that these procedures can be incredibly painful into consideration,” said Danovich. »
