'When the boos started, he turned to First Lady Melania Trump and appeared to say, "Whoa."'

ABC News posted a focused video of Trump as he was shown on the videoboard. When the boos started, he turned to First Lady Melania Trump and appeared to say, “Whoa.”

Trump smiled and continued on with his applause as the segment continued. Several “Impeach Trump” banners also made appearances around the stadium.

he realized it was boos. Melania's the funny one. Twice she let down her guard and stopped smiling. She very clearly heard the boos.

is unseemly. I am a little ashamed of myself for enjoying his discomfort.

But I did...and I do. I want to see him humiliated, destroyed, utterly without hope, locked in a cell for the rest of his miserable life.
