[IsraelTimes] ‘We’ve waited a lifetime for this, and he’s made it about himself, like everything else,’ one fan says of US president, who has had a complicated relationship with his former hometown.
Basketball fans greeted US President Donald Trump with a chorus of loud boos on Monday, as the Republican became the first sitting US president to attend the NBA Finals at Game 3 of the championship series between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
Attending as a guest of Knicks president James Dolan, Trump stood in a luxury box at Madison Square Garden, the self-styled “World’s Most Famous Arena,” smiling as the sell-out crowd jeered and booed when he appeared on the Jumbotron during the national anthem.
“I thought it was amazing, actually,” Trump told reporters as he prepared to depart from JFK airport in New York. “You mean, when they had the camera on me? I thought it was very good.” |
