In recent months, President Donald Trump has fallen asleep at cabinet meetings and White House ceremonies, among many other places.

Now, it appears he’s also fallen asleep at an NBA Finals game.

On Monday night, Trump attended Game 3 of the Finals series between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at New York’s Madison Square Garden, where he was booed when shown during the national anthem, both inside and outside of the arena.

“President Donald Trump was loudly booed at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Monday night before the start of Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the home team Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs,” CNBC reported about the president’s presence at the game.

“The thunderous boos began when Trump was shown on the Jumbotron with Knicks owner James Dolan in Dolan’s suite above the court during the playing of the national anthem. The jeers turned to cheers when the Jumbotron’s focus turned to Knicks star Jalen Brunson, who was shown standing on the court. Then, during the game, he was spotted napping while seated next to Knicks owner James Dolan.”

Trump is the first sitting president ever to attend an NBA Finals game, and apparently the first president to fall asleep at one.

Social media users had lots of thoughts on the president’s nap:
