Donald Trump took off the rare achievement to be a sitting president who was stuck several times during a sporting event that he attended.
Trump and his family were booed every time they were shown on the screen at the US Open.
Viewers who watched at home, however, did not see that the tournament asked broadcasters not to show that Trump was stuck.
An e-mail sent by organizers to broadcasters reveals that the 79-year-old is shown on the screen while singing the national anthem prior to the game.
The message adds: “We ask all broadcasters to remember from showing disruptions or reactions in response to the presence of the president in any capacity.”
Trump was stuck at least twice and the second Booing was louder than the first. This is perhaps also the first time that a sitting president had to use the national anthem, has coverage to prevent the building from being stuck.
The organizers had a good reason to worry that Trump would be booed. The last time he attended the tournament in 2015, Trump was booed, but because Trump has never been anyone who has taken a hint, he keeps showing where he is clearly not wanted by many of the other spectators.
