Knicks fans tell Trump to 'stay home'; outside watch party canceled
President Donald Trump planned to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, and Knicks fans urged him to "stay home." Organizers canceled a scheduled outdoor watch party outside Madison Square Garden because of his expected attendance and the increased security presence. Trump once sat courtside as a celebrity at Knicks games, but his appearances now come with Secret Service protection that changes event logistics. The development matters because a presidential appearance during the Finals constrained public viewing options and turned a championship night into a public-safety and access issue.
New York Knicks fans are furious that President Trump's attendance is causing major disruptions ahead of Game 3 of the NBA Finals at MSG.
Mary Claire 💙🩵🇺🇸☮️21I hope he gets booed so loudly that he’s humiliated and never wants to do this kind of shit again. I think people are gonna be so pissed. It’s gonna be bad. Remember this is New York City that just elected Mandami!
bart orchard 🫡🗽🦅10The vibes were so immaculate in NYC and now this selfish prick has to ruin it. Attending the game is one thing, but banning the watch parties outside MSG is another. Fuck him and fuck Dolan. Knicks in 4.
Millie, or Mills if we’re friends8Exactly. Will be a giant security snafu. All so he can prove once again he doesn’t need a ballroom
Lorna MacGillivray5I don't blame them one bit. I'm furious Scotland finally qualifies for a football World Cup and FIFA and Trumplethinskin ruin it.
The Hot Stepper5He won't last more than a few minutes before he bails. The line to the men's room right after tip-off will take longer than his entire Knicks finals experience will last.
Monica M.❌👑 ❌War ❌🧊4I’m surprised he wants to go. He has to know he’ll get booed. And I doubt he’ll even be able to stay awake for the whole game.
Paul Snead3So he doesn’t need a ballroom?
lesliegrable.bsky.social3Trump is a very selfish man. Self-centered and greedy. He is no fan, just going because he can. It's infuriating. And the cost for him to go, not fair to tax payers. I guess his birthday coming up is not enough to fill his bloated ego.
📚⚾️ Leslie in CA ✌🏼🦋3As they should be. There’s no reason for him to do this, and every reason not to. He just wants to be a self righteous ass, as always.
🌸🐱🐭🌸 🖇️2Dump is an attention hog 🐽
i love the New York Knicks i hate The New York Knicks™ always been that way and it's quite easy to wrap my head around
Seth Rosenthal19also: if they make the hideous decision to draw attention to him in-arena, he will get booed and chanted at. if the game gets out of hand (in either direction), it might happen anyway. only way it won't happen is if the game stays interesting AND arena ops don't acknowledge him
mattie lubchansky11very funny to watch people doomsaying about A Distraction when nobody on the team has even lightly chuckled in a solid month
