President Trump attended the U.S. Open on Sunday. While attending the U.S. Open on Sunday, President Trump took a moment to exit his VIP box and wave to the crowd. As he waved to the crowd, he was met by mostly cheers; however, some attendees of the U.S. Open booed the 47th President. AP reported more details on Trump’s visit and noted there were some boos among the cheers: President Donald Trump attended the U.S. Open on Sunday and briefly stepped out from a luxury box to wave at a main court crowd mostly still arriving for the men’s final. He drew mixed cheers and boos. Arthur Ashe stadium was only partially full and Trump’s waves weren’t announced beforehand. They were also brief enough so that some of those in attendance didn’t notice them. The president attended as a guest of Rolex despite imposing steep tariffs on the Swiss watchmaker’s home country, and organizers were seeking to keep booing of him from being seen on the TV broadcast. Trump has built the bulk of his second term’s domestic travel around attending major sports events rather than hitting the road to make policy announcements or address the kind of large rallies he so relished as a candidate. Because of extra security screening, the final between second-seeded Carlos Alcaraz, a 22-year-old Spaniard, and No. 1 seed and defending champion Jannik Sinner, 24, of Italy, was pushed back half an hour — meaning Trump arrived more than 45 minutes before the new start time. The president was watching from Rolex’s suite, and his acceptance of Rolex’s invitation comes mere weeks after the Trump administration imposed a whopping 39% tariff on Swiss products. Conservatives and liberals were battling on X to determine if Trump was either booed or cheered: WATCH: The crowd goes WILD when President Trump is shown on the big screen during the National Anthem at the U.S. Open in NYC Gos Bless America, and God Bless President Trump pic.twitter.com/VokkOJGgpT — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) September 7, 2025 LOUD BOOS AS TRUMP IS SHOWN ON BIG SCREEN AT U.S. OPENpic.twitter.com/gGXE62C9Vj — NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) September 7, 2025 Stop lying ..There wasn't any fkg crowd pic.twitter.com/ZByTxowZRx — reds56 (@Reds56Art) September 7, 2025 USA Today reported Trump was the first President to attend the U.S. Open Final since Bill Clinton: President Donald Trump made an appearance Sunday at the U.S. Open men’s singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. No sitting United States president had been present at the U.S. Open at Flushing Meadows since Bill Clinton in 2000. Trump was shown on feeds from the tournament before the pre-match ceremony and during the singing of the United States national anthem and received a healthy mix of boos, which drowned out the cheers. It was announced that Trump would be at the match earlier in the week, and extra security measures were put in place for his arrival. The United States Tennis Association had asked fans and media members to arrive early to “minimize disruption” before the original match time of 2 p.m. and be prepared to wait as they go through the gates at the Billie Jean King Tennis Center, as every bag was checked before entering the premises.
