Super Bowl fans are a little broken down at what happened when the camera panned to Donald Trump during the national anthem.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 78-year-old is the first sitting US president to attend a Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the New Orleans Superdome this evening (9 February).<\/p>\n

In the build-up to the game, Jon Batiste was singing loudly the American anthem, as the\u00a0\u00a0camera<\/span>\u00a0recorded Trump take his seat in the stands alongside his daughter Ivanka.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, meanwhile the Grammy-winning singer was performing, some viewers thought the new president was getting jeered by people in the crowd.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cY\u2019all didn\u2019t boo at Donald Trump loud enough,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>one person commented.<\/p>\n

A second penned:\u00a0\u201cThat was pretty s**tty to show Trump during Jon Batiste singing the National Anthem, forced me and half of America to boo.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: \u201cDid they cheer or boo Trump? Difficult to tell.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

As another echoed:\u00a0\u201cDid they boo or cheer Trump at the #SuperBowlLIX?\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Donald Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams \u2013 the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 as they battle for the National Football League\u2019s Vince Lombardi Trophy,\u201d Trump said in a statement before the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation\u2019s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in\u00a0\u00a0sports<\/span>\u00a0and equal opportunities among their teams.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is America\u2019s most popular sport \u2013 for good reason \u2013 it fosters a sense of national unity, bringing families, friends, and fans together and strengthening communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe value their devotion to protecting our great Nation and salute their selfless service.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
