what happened during trump’s knicks game visit?
Trump was booed by the crowd at New York’s Madison Square Garden during Monday night’s game. The crowd erupted when Trump was displayed on the screen, saluting, during the national anthem, and the president appeared to smile as the crowd jeered. A watch party held at New York’s Bryant Park, which hosted thousands of fans, also erupted in boos as Trump was shown on screen, according to videos from the event. Trump, speaking to reporters after the game, said he thought he heard “mostly cheers,” calling the arena’s response “loud” and “very enthusiastic.” At another point during the game, Trump appeared to have his eyes shut, prompting allegations he had fallen asleep. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., said in a post on X: “WAKE TF UP.” Trump’s attendance at the game prompted strict security measures and disrupted Midtown Manhattan, with the NYPD closing a set of blocks around Madison Square Garden to pedestrians and cancelling watch parties outside the arena, while ticketholders were asked to attend the game two hours early.
