Trump is booed at the U.S. Open in NYC

Trying to exploit the worldwide spotlight on the U.S. Open in NYC today, Trump is instead mercilessly booed by the crowd. That's what happens when you are an out-of-touch narcissist living inside your own "We love you" MAGA bubble.

LOL! A handful of people in the nose-bleeds.

A Washington Post-University of Maryland poll found that Democrats were 10 percentage points more likely than Republicans to be tennis fans.

That's called self-selection bias, not being out of touch.

Was this shown on the mainstream coverage?I know the organizers asked the broadcasters to not cover it if it was to happen .

It would have been very disheartening  if a similar reaction had not  happened. 

The manuncular deserves every bit of shit thrown in his direction (as do his followers  ,cronies and sickofants)

Kettle logic:

"It was just a few people."

"They were mostly democrats anyway."

"You self-selected."

I didn't see any MS media coverage of this, but local news stations and the AP did. If the organizers didn't want the booing covered, they shouldn't have allowed that shitbag in.

I expect that President Trump received a mixture of cheers and boos at the US Open.

Given that its venue is located in Queens, where Trump received 36% of the votes in the 2024 election, the boos may have outnumbered the cheers. But Trump was born in Queens, so he's one of their local guys which may have earned him some cheers.

On the other hand, US Open tickets aren't cheap and the crowd might have been overweighted with celebrities and more ruling-class types instead of Queens locals. And today's democratic party is most emphatically the party of the ruling-class. Expensive/exclusive New York City events can be expected to skew left, especially "grand slam" tennis matches.

(Like "Let's Go Brandon" chants at football games and auto races, except in reverse.)

Kettle logic are arguments that are inconsistent with each other. Observations are not even arguments, much less inconsistent.
Sounds like you've been waiting for any excuse to use a new term you learned... but don't understand. 9_9

But go ahead. Let's see if you can salvage your ignorance. @_@

I did a search. I was the first to introduce the term "kettle logic" here. And it means exactly what you said--making inconsistent arguments to support a point, which is precisely what you're doing.

"Sigmund Freud in his Interpretation of Dreams about “a man who was accused by his neighbour of having returned a kettle to him in a damaged condition. In the first place, he said, he had returned the kettle undamaged; in the second, it already had holes in it when he borrowed it; and thirdly, he had never borrowed the kettle from his neighbour at all. But so much the better; if even one of these three methods of defence is recognised as valid, the man must be acquitted.”

In his attempt to defend that he had returned the kettle in the condition he had received it (or even denying that he had borrowed the kettle), the man puts forward three arguments. Each argument as such is correct, but by putting forward three contradictory arguments to support his point the man he undermines his case. Because of Freud’s example the fallacy got the name “Kettle Logic”."

Yet you can't seem to explain how. 9_9
How are they inconsistent with each other?

Trump basically got what he deserved. By slandering large Democratically-run cities and threatening to send in the National Guard, he pretty much insulted New Yorkers to their face. New Yorkers are very proud of their city. Bashing it in the media just to score political points will only get him hated by them as their own hometown hero turned traitor.

I see you can't explain any inconsistency, hence not kettle logic. 9_9
