President Donald Trump’s second venture out to the public on Saturday night wasn’t much more successful than his first.
Trump and his two sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump attended UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden in New York City with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Peter King (R-NY).
He was met with a deluge of boos from a large section of the audience.

After the game, Trump retweeted posts and a video claiming that the crowd was in fact cheering on the President.

Though at least Trump wasn’t met solely with a wave of boos this time, the mixed reception closely echoes the response he got exactly a week prior when he
made a surprise appearance at the World Series in D.C.
Trump better stick to NASCAR and WWE.
hahaha! Yes, but they were Bronx cheers.
This is great. Americans sure can be awesome.
I just don´t get the appeal of MMA. Seems like a blood sport to me.
Oops. Just figured it out.
In any event, I imagine that the fans are not a reliable voting bloc.
Maybe the tide is beginning to turn…
I knew that he was going to leave NYC for full time residence in FL back in early 2018. There is so much acrimony towards him in most every Blue city and state (NYC tops the list) that he can’t accept the obvious rejection. I rarely ever agree with Gov. Cuomo but he’s right: good riddance.
