Barack Obama booed by crowd at Donald Trump’s inauguration, sparking backlash online (video)

Barack  Obama attended Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, January 20, and was met with a hostile welcome from the crowd. 

The former POTUS stepped out to boos from the crowds as he arrived to watch Trump become the 47th President of the United States.  

Barack wasn’t the only one who received a negative response from onlookers either, as Hilary and Bill Clinton were also met with boos. 

George W. Bush and his wife Laura, however, were met with a warm response from the general public.  

Americans have gone on X to criticise the crowd for booing Obama. 

Watch the video below.
