For someone who claims to be so beloved and revered, Donald Trump sure doesn’t seem to receive a warm welcome no matter where he goes.
As I’m sure you’ve not yet forgotten, Trump was met with a round of rambunctious boos and rowdy chants of “Lock him up!” when he attended Game 5 of the World Series at the beginning of this week. Even after slipping in late and bailing out on the traditional first pitch, handing the honor over to one of his staunchest critics instead, and bringing an entourage of some of the worst human beings he could muster up, Donnie still couldn’t avoid the less than overjoyed reception he got from a stadium full of baseball fans the moment his arrival was announced and his smug face was plastered across the Jumbotron.
And now it seems that Donald will be ending his week on the same sour note.
For whatever reason, one that I am sure is beyond me, Trump decided to head back to the city of New York that he hates so much these days to attend Ultimate Fighting Championship 244 at Madison Square Garden to watch the UFC welterweight fight between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz.
As was pointed out by Chief White House correspondent for the New York Times, Pete Baker, it was odd enough that Trump was even there:
Just guessing, but tonight may be the first time a president has attended a competition in which the winner is declared the “Baddest Motherf**er” and receives a BMF belt.

The White House press corps also expressed the oddity of the situation:
I guess I’m covering UFC now. Trump has arrived at Madison Square Garden, after a motorcade ride through New York.

But what really makes the situation interesting, you may be asking?
Well, Trump got his ass booed. AGAIN.

Seriously, I don’t know what we’ve done to deserve this. But holy shit, this is just great.
