“Boos were actually just Woohoos! from all the deep-voiced alpha males in the crowd” insists Trump

Donald Trump has dismissed reports that he was booed by thousands of spectators during an NBA Finals game in New York, insisting the crowd were actually enthusiastically shouting “Woohoo!” in support of him.

The President was shown on the giant screen during a break in proceedings, prompting what independent observers, journalists, broadcasters, and anyone possessing functioning ears described as a loud chorus of boos.

However, Trump has now clarified that the media once again got the story completely wrong.

“Those weren’t boos,” Trump explained. “They were saying ‘Woohoo!’ because they were excited to see their favourite president. Frankly, it was beautiful. Very emotional.”

The President went on to suggest that the confusion arose because many of his supporters are exceptionally masculine.

“You’ve got these incredible alpha males, tremendous men, very deep voices. The deepest voices you’ve ever heard. They love me. The alphas love me. They shout ‘Woohoo!’ and because they’re so masculine it comes out sounding exactly like booing. That’s just science.”

Trump supporters quickly backed the explanation.

“I was watching the footage and it definitely sounded like 20,000 people were booing hime,” said Chuck Matthews, 48. “But then President Trump explained that it was actually cheering, and frankly, that seems more likely than the evidence of my own eyes and ears.”

White House officials have since released an official transcript of the crowd noise, replacing every audible boo with the words “WOOHOO PRESIDENT TRUMP!” in capital letters.

White House aides later clarified that the arena had in fact been filled with 18 million cheering supporters, although many were regrettably invisible to television cameras.
