As a veteran, I hate that this man "salutes" during the anthem.
1. Generally speaking even Active Duty and Veterans don't salute in civies. You CAN, but most people just put their hands over their hearts.
2. He's not a veteran or active duty. POTUS is a civilian's office.
3. He's a fucking draft dodger. That's some stolen valor bullshit. You haven't earned that right, you fucking fuck.
4. If you're going to insist on being a valor thief, at least learn to salute properly instead of that lazy-ass, floppy-wristed, palm-out bullshit.
Not to harp on it but its really funny to hear some people argue “hey it was a mixed reaction, it wasn’t all boos” and then you click on this and it’s just the deepest, from the gut, loudest boos you’ve ever heard. Like just objectively the most negative response from the crowd.
The people who have it the worst from Trump’s appearance at MSG tonight are the local workers, restaurants, bars, and other businesses. Tonight was going to be their best day of business possibly ever. Trump robbed them of that entirely. Very unfortunate, yet very on brand.

I think it is quite reasonable for absolutely anyone, regardless of politics, to be annoyed by what is the actions of one person inconveniencing tens of thousands.
Soccer would not exist without immigrants. Immigrants play and coach the game, work in the stadiums, fill the stands, and make celebrations like the World Cup possible. Six of the players on the US Men's National Team are immigrants.
We will not allow ICE or anyone else to sow fear in our communities — especially at this moment. As the world comes to our city, we will stand proudly with our immigrant neighbors and reject these attacks for what they are: an attempt to divide us.
