Kai Trump Posts NBA Finals Clip Without Audio of Crowd Boos at Her Grandfather's Appearance
Kai Trump shared an Instagram video of herself and President Donald Trump at Game 3 of the NBA Finals, but the clip's audio was altered to feature cheers instead of the boos that were audible in the original broadcast. Trump attended the game at Madison Square Garden on Monday and was loudly booed by Knicks fans, though he later claimed the crowd reaction was "mostly cheers." The audio discrepancy drew attention from social media commenters who noted the apparent manipulation of the video.
Kai Trump, the 19-year-old daughter of Donald Trump Jr., posted a roughly 10-second Instagram clip on Tuesday showing herself and President Trump standing for the national anthem during Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. The video's audio appears to have been replaced with crowd cheers, omitting both the audible boos from the live broadcast and the national anthem performance by Avery Wilson. Trump became the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game, but was met with significant booing from Knicks fans during the event. After the game, Trump told reporters the crowd reaction was "mostly cheers" and described the experience as "amazing." The audio alteration was noticed by viewers, with multiple commenters on Kai Trump's post explicitly noting the audio swap. It remains unclear whether Kai Trump or the 15 Seconds of Fame app—which captured the original clip—was responsible for the audio change.
