Tennis fans at the US Open men's final on Sunday (Sep 7) greeted US President Donald Trump with loud boos as he appeared at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, forcing organisers to delay the start of the Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner showdown due to heightened security. "As a result of the security measures in place, and to ensure that fans have additional time to get to their seats, we have pushed the start time of today’s match to 2:30 pm ET," said the US Open. Adding to the spectacle, Trump's right hand once again appeared caked in mismatched makeup, covering a lingering bruise - something that did not go unnoticed.<h2>Trump greeted by cheers and jeers</h2>Trump entered alongside Rolex CEO Jean-Frederic Dufour and members of his inner circle, including Jared Kushner, granddaughter Arabella, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Videos from the historic sporting event show as the crowd erupted with a mix of jeers and cheers when cameras cut to Trump saluting during the national anthem. The US President, as per reports, quickly retreated to his suite after the frosty welcome.

<h2>MAGA influencers ignore the boos</h2>Staying true to their Trump-positive outlooks, right-wing influencers later claimed the crowd gave Trump a "POWERFUL, ROARING standing ovation," while a White House X account dismissed reports of booing as "Fake News" driven by so-called "Trump Derangement Syndrome.""All these Fake News Losers do is lie because their pea-sized brains have been irreversibly destroyed by TDS," it said, referring to the made-up illness dubbed by conservatives as "Trump Derangement Syndrome."<h2>The tennis association did not want Trump shown on Jumbotron?</h2>The United States Tennis Association, as per reports, had privately urged broadcasters not to show Trump during the telecast, according to an email obtained by tennis journalist Ben Rothenberg. "We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage," read the email.Trump faced similar booing when he last attended the tournament in 2015 and more recently at July's FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey.<h2>Trump's makeup-slathered hand becomes news once again</h2>Adding to the spectacle, Trump's right hand once again appeared caked in mismatched makeup, purportedly covering a lingering bruise that has sparked speculation about his health. New close-up photos from Sunday revealed the discolouration beneath the concealer.The White House has repeatedly downplayed concerns, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt previously attributing the mark to "minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regime."&nbsp;

US President Donald Trump's appearance at the US Open men's final was met with loud boos from the crowd. Videos of the moment show the POTUS facing a mix of jeers and cheers. Meanwhile, a lingering bruise on his hand, covered by improperly matched makeup, has become a reason for ridicule.

US Open 2025: Trump booed at Alcaraz vs Sinner final, makeup-covered hand raises health concerns

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) suggested he might deploy National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon—a move apparently triggered by a misleading television report that showed video from the city's 2020 protests as if it were filmed this summer. "I will say this, I watched today, I didn't know that was continuing to go on, but Portland is unbelievable, what's going on," Trump told reporters. "We'll be able to stop that very easily," he asserted.<h2>Portland: 'Like living in hell'?</h2>Contrary to Trump's claim, Portland, as per The Guardian, has only seen small protests this year, mostly outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. These gatherings have drawn dozens at most — a far cry from the 2020 demonstrations following George Floyd’s killing that brought tens of thousands into the streets for months.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-peter-navarro-lashes-out-at-india-again-melts-down-after-netizens-fact-check-his-russian-oil-claim-live-musk-1757207674239">Trump aide Navarro has a public meltdown after netizens fact-check his claims on India's Russian oil trade</a><h2>What triggered Trump?</h2>Fox News on Thursday (Sep 4) aired a segment that mixed recent protest footage with a viral 2020 clip of a demonstrator being pepper-sprayed, wrongly describing it as June 2025.

US President Donald Trump on Friday (Sep 5) appeared to fumble while speaking about hostages held in Gaza, giving conflicting numbers and even suggesting the United States was in direct negotiations with Hamas. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump claimed that America was in "deep negotiation" with Hamas even as he warned that more Israeli hostages may have died in Gaza. The 79-year-old also presented a litany of conflicting numbers in one speech. He first said that "over 30 bodies" were part of the current talks before abruptly shifting to different figures.<h2>38, 20, or 30?</h2>Trump, who happens to be the oldest US president to be elected, first claimed that over 30 bodies were part of the hostage talks.
