Knicks fans booed Donald Trump loudly at Madison Square Garden today — and his motorcade was met with what reporters called “thunderous” booing outside the arena. But the timing of his Jumbotron appearance is worth noting.
Trump may seem detached from reality, but he has always understood television. His image appeared on the screen during the National Anthem — the one moment when an entire arena is socially constrained to stand still, stay quiet, and avoid outbursts. Even people who dislike you instinctively hold back during that ritual.
If that same shot had appeared 30 seconds later, during a timeout or hype break, I would even have been able to hear the booing here in Pennsylvania. Trump still knows how to stage‑manage a moment on camera…except when a reporter dares to ask him a tough question. Then he becomes completely unhinged and nasty.
Peace & Love, and all of the above,
Earl
