MAGA Republican President Donald Trump attended Sunday’s U. S. Open men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Jannik Sinner of Italy, drawing boos that broadcasters were asked to censor and causing delays due to a poorly planned security setup.

When Trump was shown on the big screen he drew audible boos and a smattering of applause. But it's his reaction to the match's outcome that's created international headlines.

Alcaraz handily defeated Sinner in four sets with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. But while the crowd enthusiastically applauded Alcaraz's triumph, Trump seemed less than impressed by the Spaniard's victory.

So much so that both the press and public took notice.


I’m very certain Trump thinks Alcaraz is Mexican.

Clearly I wasn't the only one who noticed this. Trump was pissed Alcaraz won.

I wasn’t rooting for anyone in the men’s US Open final. But I’m thrilled Trump looked so unhappy once Alcaraz won. Plus he played fantastically.

Why was Trump so pissed at the end of the US Open?Dark skinned Spaniard Alcaraz beats the very white Sinner. And he's classy in his victory as well.More, please. More.

I was at a friend’s birthday party earlier tonight when someone told me Trump’s reaction to Alcaraz winning. I thought they were exaggerating. They were not. Trump looked genuinely disappointed that Alcaraz won. Zero poker face.

Alcaraz wins brilliantly and the camera cuts to Trump scowling. No, Trump, you don’t get the trophy.

It's impossible to know if Trump would have been more enthusiastic if the less swarthy, red-headed Sinner had won over Alcaraz.

It's been noted often that Donald Trump is only interested in Donald Trump, so Alcaraz shouldn't take the snub too hard.

After all, Trump's been known to ignore his own grandchildren.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
