Trump Heckled During Presidents Cup Appearance

Donald Trump was interrupted by a spectator’s shouted insult during his appearance at the Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club near Chicago on Sunday, September 27, as the crowd’s response included both cheers and criticism. The wording of the heckle has not been verified, and the spectator has not been publicly identified. Trump attended the tournament’s final day as its honorary chairman and addressed spectators before play. He described the country as doing great, better than ever before. A voice from the crowd interrupted shortly afterward, while the Village People’s Y.M.C.A. played. Video of the moment circulated online, but there is no official transcript establishing what was said. Accounts of the heckle differ, with some describing a general insult and others attributing a profanity-laced accusation to the spectator. Neither the PGA Tour nor the White House had identified the person or confirmed the precise wording in reports published September 27 and 28. The accusation contained in some interpretations of the shout is not established by the available footage or reporting and should not be treated as fact. The interruption came amid a mixed reception at Medinah.
