Not booed loudly enough for my liking

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Right? Every time I hear about him being booed, it just sounds like a less enthusiastic cheer. This is what it sounds like when a percentage of the crowd boos, but not enough to overcome the cheer.

However, every headline and most of the comments are always like "this sounds great I love this boo. There is so much boo on this video, boo." Bullshit. The country clearly still has too many supremecists for a real boo.

Don't forget, the cheapest seats cost like a zillion dollars, so that arena was basically filled with the Epstein Class and their Wannabes. IOW, his people.

The outside crowd is more representative of the city's opinions of him.

Sort of... This is usually a time of dead silence.

This emphasizes how genuinely hated this guy is.

[–] Nouvellalia@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Not enough. Streets are quiet

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

It's worth noting that it's not literal booing... Most people are angrily yelling. You all get that, right?

...right?

Oh man I love that he keeps trying this from time to time, and it just gets more and more prominent and noticeable - and the first time he tried it, it was surprisingly audible, such that a lot of broadcasts filtered the audio VERY blatantly the second time.

The new granddaughter eye candy is so gross. That family is so disgusting

[–] huquad@lemmy.ml 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is that the presidents date next to him?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's his favorite Nepo-Baby granddaughter, the golfer, the one they forced a tournament to accept, where she finished a distant last place. Another generation of over-privileged Trump Pigs.

Yea it’s his new “favorite” because Ivanka aged out. I’m sure they are bringing him children that look like her to rape

who that young woman i the booth? party favor? fucking pedo

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (2 children)

His horrible bitch of a granddaughter who is just like him

[–] galacticbackhoe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

That didn't stop him with his own daughter.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

It’s going to be funny when she realizes her family put her in this position to be grandpas eye candy. I’m sure they are bringing him children that look like her to rape

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago

His Nepo-Baby granddaughter. They forced a golf tournament to accept her, even though she didn't qualify, and she finished a distant dead last.

Another over-privileged Trump. Add her to The List.

[–] lemmyng@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

His meat shield.

[–] LilRed@lemmy.zip 18 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Heard no audible booing, but definitely should have been booed. POS.. 😒😒😒

[–] Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The accompanying videos, where people are aggressively giving is image the finger, are a better representation than the lackluster audio.

~~Nevermind, user error.~~

[–] Captain_Buddha@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Hmm... link still worked for me.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Same, although might be audio quality since the booing is almost entirely picked up by the singers mic. First hand accounts might be more accurate.

As the Commander in Chief technically he is in the military and is supposed to salute

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Technically, if you are not in uniform, you are supposed to put your hand over your heart, and presidents respected that until Reagan came along. He was big on Republican Theatrics and Propaganda, so he started doing the salute, and others have followed, although most mix it up.

Trump is the biggest hypocrite in American history, so he's big on the salute.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Aren't you supposed to strictly only salute if you're wearing a hat, stand at attention otherwise?

[–] ClanOfTheOcho@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

The president is the civilian who is in charge of the military. Definitely not technically in the military, by design. Other possible reasons to salute include wearing uniform or being a vet, which also don't apply.

It's because he has no heart, so he's gotta do something with his hand to throw people off.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Probably Kim Jong-Un, who's a big basketball fan and, though far away, probably watching the game. Kinda romantic IMHO.

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Had this happened to other presidents in the past?

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I believe W was booed a few times but nowhere near as much as Trump.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

at GW's inauguration, his motorcade was pelted with thousands eggs, the car was dripping.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Should've been chanting PEDO to remind the shit-for-brains that we haven't forgotten, no matter how much he tries to distract. Child rapist!

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 5 points 4 days ago

This warms my heart
