THE LATEST
Trump back in a New York groove? When the president visited the U.S. Open yesterday, organizers reportedly prepared for him to be mercilessly booed like the last time he attended, in 2015. But the leaked USTA memo calling on broadcasters not to show fans booing proved to be largely unnecessary.
Videos posted from inside The Open showed President Donald Trump getting some boos and some audible cheers — as well as throngs of frustrated fans stuck in the security line while Trump made his big entrance. The match was delayed for more than a half hour because of Trump’s presence.
Pick your narrative: There was, of course, an online debate over the amount of cheers vs. jeers detected in various clips. But The Open was not universally hostile territory to Trump, which is a big change from 10 years ago.
