Newsom Rubs Salt in the Wound After Trump Booed at NFL Game
There was little sympathy for the president’s ego coming from the California governor.
Donald Trump’s most reliable troll definitely enjoyed the president being booed by football fans.
The 79-year-old president was loudly booed when he appeared on the Jumbotron in a corporate box at the Northwest Stadium in Maryland for the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions game on Sunday.
The jeering almost drowned out Trump when he read the military Oath of Enlistment to swear in new troops at the game, which took place on Veterans Day weekend.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom shared footage of the booing, from the Trump-friendly Fox News, on his press office X account just hours later.
The caption simply read “Hahahahahahhahahahaha.”

MAGA followers were quick to run to Trump’s defense, sharing their distaste for those daring to boo the president, who is no stranger to criticizing people he does not like.
“Wow. Doesn’t get much more disrespectful than this,” right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson wrote on X, sharing the footage of Trump’s instant crowd reaction.
The Libs of TikTok account also clutched their pearls, writing that the jeers were “Absolutely disgusting. Democrats have no respect for our brave troops who put their lives on the line to protect our country. Democrats hate America,” they wrote on X.
