Trump Booed at the US Open
Donald Trump faced a wave of boos at the US Open on Sunday, September 7. TV cameras captured the former president’s awkward reaction as the crowd jeered.

Off-Court Drama
While the spotlight was on the tennis, off-court moments grabbed attention. Earlier, fans were outraged when a man swiped Kamil Majchrzak’s gifted hat from a young boy.

Trump’s Appearance
The men’s final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz brought Trump to New York for his first US Open since 2015, when he launched his presidential bid. As a West Point cadet performed the national anthem, cameras cut to Trump. A brief round of applause quickly turned into loud boos.

Trump smirked awkwardly before taking his seat in a suite beside the winner’s trophy. According to The Guardian, Rolex had invited him to the event.

Mixed Reaction
Speaking to reporters after returning to Washington, Trump brushed off the incident. “The fans were really nice. I didn’t know what to expect,” he said, calling the crowd “somewhat progressive.”

Delays and Frustration
Some fans blamed Trump’s presence and heavy security for long entry delays. Kevin, a fan waiting over an hour, told Reuters: “One hundred percent him. Very selfish. An event like this shouldn’t be held up for him, especially in a city that hates him.”

The Secret Service acknowledged the issue, thanking fans for their patience. “We recognise enhanced security for the US President’s visit may have contributed to delays,” a spokesperson said.
