Have you ever forced taxpayers to spend millions of dollars on security costs, shut down a large part of the largest city in the United States, and hurt tens of thousands of people, just to mercilessly take a nap on television and ultimately jinx a professional sports team whose fans have been waiting over five years for them to win?
Well, after Monday night, President Donald Trump may answer yes to that particular question.
The deadly drug addict shut down a large part of one of Manhattan’s busiest areas so he could attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs, even though he was stuck on the NBA. He also criticised players in the league for being too “woke” and for advocating for racial justice.
Fans were not particularly pleased, as when the president attended a major event, he had to wait for hours outside the stadium to go through extra security screening.
And they told him they were furious during the national anthem at the beginning of the game. It was absurd that his sweaty, orange face was plastered on the jumbotron inside Madison Square Garden. It was the one and only time Trump was shown on screen in the field.
Then during the game, fans took photos and videos of Trump blindfolded in a luxury suite. He was apparently sleeping at the event he only had to attend, even though his presence caused trouble and distraction for players and fans alike.
If he wanted to take a nap, he could save everyone the trouble and watch the game on television like the rest of us — as he strongly suggested when asked about his attendance at an event that cost thousands of dollars in tickets.
And because everything Trump touches dies, the Knicks go on to lose the game — their first loss in the entire playoffs that ended their historic 13-game winning streak.
Embarrassingly, after the game, Trump claimed he hadn’t suffered a concussion — likely because such an admission would hurt his thin, bruised skin.
“I thought it was wonderful,” Trump told reporters after the game. A reporter asked what Trump thought of his fans’ reception. “I think most of the cheers were loud and very exciting,” he said.
This misleading response has led former White House press secretary Sean Spicer to claim that Trump’s first inauguration was the biggest crowd in history.
If you were watching the game on ABC, then, to be fair, Trump’s answer would be correct. Rotated the audio so the kisses weren’t so prominent. It seems the network is still afraid to face the consequences of the dictator-wannabe.
It wasn’t just MSG where Trump got a loud kiss. At bars and watch parties in New York City, patrons booed, jeered, and gave the finger to the screen once Trump’s face appeared.
Because Trump is such a fragile man, the Fox News bullies tried to flatter their beloved leader by lying about the reception he received in the arena.
“Chants erupt in presence of President Trump at Madison Square Garden during Game 3 of NBA Finals,” Fox News wrote In a post on X
Of course, the “USA” cheers were heard during the anthem, when Trump wasn’t on the jumbo screen. Once he was on screen, there were kisses. And in an article on Fox News.com, the author described the boos as “a great response from the sellout crowd”.
That’s one way to say it.
So to recap, Trump ruined the experience for New Yorkers, spent huge amounts of taxpayer dollars, and saddled the team he wanted to win with. Thanks, Don!
