He showed up less than an hour before the match began. He stepped onto the balcony of the Rolex corporate suite he was situated in and waved to the crowd. Tennis fans cheered for the president and Trump mouthed, “Thank you.”

The president saluted as the national anthem played in the stadium. He received a mix of cheers and boos from the crowd as the cameras panned toward him. He reportedly received boos again in the middle of the match.

It’s Trump’s first visit to the Grand Slam tennis tournament since before he got into the White House. He was seen at the event in September 2015 – months after he announced his run for president the first time.
