US President Donald Trump and his 19-year-old granddaughter, Kai Trump, were booed by fans at an NBA Finals game. A video circulating online shows Trump being booed when he appeared on the big screen. However, Kai later shared a video of the game on Instagram, seemingly replacing the boos with cheers, sparking online discussion.
On June 8, local time, 79-year-old Trump and his granddaughter Kai watched the game with New York Knicks owner James Dolan from a VIP box. A dramatic scene unfolded during the national anthem. When the big screen cut to the VIP box, Trump was seen waving to the audience, with his granddaughter Kai beside him, her hand on her heart. However, the audience immediately erupted in boos until the screen switched back to the American flag. In the "Kai version" of the video, the boos turned into enthusiastic cheers. However, Kai's expression was still visible: initially stunned, then slowly returning to a smile, but her expression was stiff. Trump, on the other hand, was clearly more composed, maintaining a relaxed expression and a respectful posture throughout.
Some netizens pointed out inconsistencies in the video in the comments section, stating that "she replaced the sound effects," directly indicating that the video was "fake." Some Trump supporters tried to defend the video, claiming that the previous booing video was "fake," but some fans commented that there was a chorus of boos at the time, saying, "I was there." One netizen described the boos as "the boos rocked the foundation of The Garden," while another said, "Her expression says it all."
