Why is he saluting? ๐ญ
It's because he has no heart, so he's gotta do something with his hand to throw people off.
As the Commander in Chief technically he is in the military and is supposed to salute
The president is the civilian who is in charge of the military. Definitely not technically in the military, by design. Other possible reasons to salute include wearing uniform or being a vet, which also don't apply.
checking out teen girls under the lights.
Probably Kim Jong-Un, who's a big basketball fan and, though far away, probably watching the game. Kinda romantic IMHO.
Not booed loudly enough for my liking
Right? Every time I hear about him being booed, it just sounds like a less enthusiastic cheer. This is what it sounds like when a percentage of the crowd boos, but not enough to overcome the cheer.
However, every headline and most of the comments are always like "this sounds great I love this boo. There is so much boo on this video, boo." Bullshit. The country clearly still has too many supremecists for a real boo.
Sort of... This is usually a time of dead silence.
This emphasizes how genuinely hated this guy is.
Not enough. Streets are quiet
Oh man I love that he keeps trying this from time to time, and it just gets more and more prominent and noticeable - and the first time he tried it, it was surprisingly audible, such that a lot of broadcasts filtered the audio VERY blatantly the second time.
who that young woman i the booth? party favor? fucking pedo
His horrible bitch of a granddaughter who is just like him
Next victim?

another neck for the gibbet
His meat shield.
This warms my heart
Heard no audible booing, but definitely should have been booed. POS.. ๐๐๐
The accompanying videos, where people are aggressively giving is image the finger, are a better representation than the lackluster audio.
Same, although might be audio quality since the booing is almost entirely picked up by the singers mic. First hand accounts might be more accurate.
Had this happened to other presidents in the past?
I believe W was booed a few times but nowhere near as much as Trump.
at GW's inauguration, his motorcade was pelted with thousands eggs, the car was dripping.
Should've been chanting PEDO to remind the shit-for-brains that we haven't forgotten, no matter how much he tries to distract. Child rapist!
