President Donald Trump turned up to UFC 244 at Madison Square Garden over the weekend for the Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvida fight, where he received a less than cordial welcome from the crowd.
As he entered the venue, the president was “massively booed” by patrons, which you can see footage of below.

The boos continued even after Trump took his ringside seat at the venue.
As XXL reports, some attendees spiced up their verbal disapproval with lyrics from YG and Nipsey Hussle‘s anti-Trump protest song ‘FDT (Fuck Donald Trump’). The incendiary song was released back in 2016 ahead of Trump’s eventual campaign success.
In response, the POTUS – flanked by Secret Service – acknowledges the detractors, waving back.

In related news, last week at a show in San Antonio, YG invited a fan onstage and encouraged him to shout ‘Fuck Donald Trump’.
“I spotted you out in the crowd. I asked if you fuck with Donald Trump. You said you don’t know,” said YG to the fan after bringing him up.
“So since you don’t know, I need you to make up your mind tonight. I need you to say your name. I want you state your name because I know your momma, your daddy, your grandmomma, your grandfather’s watching. I want you to state your name and yell out ‘Fuck Donald Trump.’”
When the fan refused, YG kicked him offstage.
“No you won’t? Get his ass out of here. Get him off the stage. Fuck off out of here. He’s a Donald Trump supporters – get his ass out of here!” responded the rapper.
Absolute king. Watch that exchange below.
