He showed up less than an hour before the match began. He stepped on the balcony of the Rolex Corporate Suite he was located in and waved to the crowd. Tennis fans cheered for the president and Trump mouthed, “Thanks.”
The president greeted when the national anthem played in the stadium. He received a mix of cheer and boos from the crowd as the cameras panned against him. He reportedly received Boos again in the middle of the match.
It’s Trump’s first visit to the Grand Slam Tennis Tournament since before entering the White House. He was seen at the event in September 2015 – months after he first announced his race to President.
