    Since you are asking, you obviously do not see anything wrong with him, MAGA! comrade.

    I wouldn't have booed him, even if he has earned it. Just not very classy. But whatever. You can't tell a stadium-full of people what to do, and if Trump wasn't expecting a chorus of boos he probably should have.

    Go back and read the last 4 years of Trump threads in the D&D if you don't understand.

    It's a sports stadium. People have been booed for much less in sports venues-- like playing for the Utah Jazz. If anyone deserves being booed, Trump does.

    Yesterday’s game was one for the ages. Trump getting booed is a solid second to the attempt to distract Cole at the bottom of the 7th. That was an all time great.

    And maybe he needs to hear it. He only otherwise sees his normal yes-men and yes-women, or his big supportive rallies.
    He may honestly, at some level, think it's just the "media" that disapproves of him. But no, here's a stadium full of upper-middle-class, largely white Americans, who were chanting "lock him up." You have to wonder if it can get through to him, or if he already actually knew how deeply unpopular he is with lots of normal folks.

    So I'd normally agree with JV on this one, as it's not classy for someone to boo a politician and particularly a president, but I kind of wonder if it wasn't important in this case. There are so very few opportunities (other than twitter) to access this president and give him a piece of our mind.

    Have you been living under the sea in a fantastical colony of magic ocean people the last couple years?

    It’s America... if people want to boo someone for being an inept narcissist that is a terrible person, then I am all for it.

    If the next Democrat President is a terrible person then boo him too.

    Nah, been here. But I did a deep dive recently and discovered a lot of reasons people are mad at this dude is media manipulation. But there are a lot of reasons people seem to hate this guy. Some people hate him because they think he's a rapist. Some hate him because they think he's a racist. Whatever it is Trump seems to be the cause of everyone's problems. I honestly would just like to know the reason people think its okay that a dude can't enjoy a basketball game with his wife. Like why do people hate him that much? Please be detailed in your explanations

    Media manipulation? I think your foil hat is giving you brain cancer.

    I did a deep dive recently and discovered, you missed quite a bit and might have a misunderstanding of the evidence.

    I did a deep dive and determined I was not manipulated by the media but the deep state. btw, he was at the World Series, so it was a football game, not basketball.
