After being ‘blamed’ for delaying the US Open men’s final between world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York, US President Donald Trump is once again at the center of online debate.

His appearance on Sunday has sparked a flurry of reactions, with many asking the same question: was Trump booed at the US Open?
