"The USTA, in a Sept. 6 missive to its broadcast partners that became public, urged them not to show any disruptions or reactions during Trump's appearance at the men's final Sunday. We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President's attendance in any capacity, part of the letter read. This did not sit right with the activists who dubbed the president the Hitler of America over his deportation agenda and threats of a Big Apple federal takeover."
