President Trump to attend NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, security tightened
President Donald Trump will attend Knicks vs Spurs Game 3 at Madison Square Garden on Monday, and the Secret Service is coordinating security with MSG. Madison Square Garden announced TSA-style screening, a strict no-bags policy and a prohibited-items list that bans backpacks larger than 18 by 13 by 7 inches, aerosols, balloons, ammunition and animals other than service animals. MSG asked attendees to arrive up to two hours early to clear the heightened checks and warned of longer entry lines and tighter checkpoints. The changes alter normal NBA Finals access for ticket holders and show how a protectee's presence can reshape event operations.
Stephen A. Smith begs Trump not to attend NBA Finals Game 3 at Madison Square Garden: “I don't want him there.”
The only person whose opinion I value less that Stephen A. Smith is Donald J. Trump.
I really don't care about anything Stephen A. Smith says.
It will be Awesome 👌 This will be the greatest mass salute 🫡 to a president in American history. * One Finger Salute * 100,000+ New Yorkers giving him the bird. Epic.
The coward mofo won’t show up because he knows he’ll be booed like he’s never been booed before. #goknicks
Would love for Obama to show up and have Trump listen to the shouts and cheering for him!
He will be asleep by the first TV timeout
Who cares. Smith is almost as bad as Trump, he’s a misogynist opportunitist down to his bones.
OH DEAR GOD… I’m ACTUALLY AGREEING with Stephen A. Smith!
But he’ll kiss his ass if he shows up.
I don't want Trump there, either; and, frankly, I also don't want Stephen A. Smith there!
If he goes it’ll put a curse on the Knicks and they’ll lose 4 straight.
Why do we care what Smith thinks or says?
Oh I hope he goes now. He won’t if he knows New Yorkers are going to be New Yorkers- loud!
Yeah well we didnt want him in the fucking office of the United states of America yet here we are...he didnt have a problem voting for him to be in office tho..
Smith leans more R than L
Will trump comply? It would be surprising if he did. Thinking he still expects a cheering audience
For once I’m in total agreement with Smith. Normally I find him extremely irritating! Trump has tortured NEW YORK ENOUGH! He should NOT ATTEND the KNICKS game. Is he even a real Basketball fan? I know he’s a football & baseball fan. Everything else (not so much). I think his CABINET likes him BUSY!
Stephen A Smith doesn't want anyone to take attention from him. Stephen is also building a golden statue of himself. And he is the president of the Stephen A Smith fan club.
Maybe it's a taunt to assure he will come and, in all likelihood, make an even bigger fool of himself.
No one wants him there which will make him even more determined to go. He's like that.
I agree. But then I don’t want Stephen A. Smith there either. 😅
Gotta disagree here. It will be "the Boo hear round the world"! Let it ring in his rotting orange's ears. Maybe he will cry. The Knicks can only draw power from it. Hopefully the networks won't censor the sound.
The amount of security Trump gets is ridiculous; he & fam cost taxpayers a bloody fortune for their personal protection. Meanwhile Trump-Gov’s creating national security threats/problems/nightmares for US! His ASININE war & depletion of US Intel agencies ETC will have catastrophic consequences.
When Trump shows up at Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday and NY Knicks fans boo him or start an “Epstein” chant, will the ABC broadcast reflect that reality or will the network go to a commercial? Will ABC be afraid of another Trump shakedown lawsuit and another $15 million settlement?
They can’t blackout the entire game! Besides, people will be filming on their phones and it’ll be everywhere anyway.
They will block out the crowd noise. But social media is forever, while network TV and corporate media sink even further into cowardice.
With this buildup we really shouldn't rule out TACO Monday
An Epstein chant would be great, but I wouldn't have an issue with "F*CK YOU, trump!"
Holding out hope for a hero with an Epstein Fathead bsky.app/profile/groo...
It'll be hard to edit out if they do it for the entire game.
Boo that motherfucker nonstop until he has to leave the building. New York, you know what to do.
That's fine. People have phones and it'll be ALL over the internet.
They won't show it because they're cowards.
i'm not even fucking kidding that if ABC cuts away to commercial when trump starts getting booed, the knicks and the spurs should take concurrent timeouts when they come back to let him get fucking roasted for like three minutes on national television.
What are the 🌮 TACO odds?
If the stands were empty, it would send a stronger message to those who own these teams, and they would never allow it again. Force the rich to not bend a knee to a rapist. You all hold the cards and don't even know it. Pretty sad. BOYCOTT THE GAME
No other sitting U.S. president has ever attended an NBA Finals game, and for a reason. 3rd game spectators are asked to come to MSG at least 2 hours before the game.
And this PROVES tRump doesn’t need a vanity ballroom for security.

So he's safe when golfing and safe in an arena but not safe in the White House. What an idiot.
Paying 8 grand for a ticket only to be held up by secret service checkpoints so I can't get in until the 2nd quarter; priceless
I live outside of NYC. It’s a known fact that no one goes to NYC when the Prez comes to town. It blocks flits, it stops trains,it stops our subways,it stops street traffic..& Trump is the worst of thm all by 1000%! He’s doing this to fck New Ykers as hard as he can. Ppl won’t be able to get there‼️
This asshole wants to upstage this event with his disgraceful presence.
No matter what happens the tweet saying “everybody loved seeing me and I’m the most loved President to ever be seen in NY” is already written and ready to send.
All that orange ghoul does is create chaos, corruption and destruction. It will be chaotic at MSG. 😡
Getting there 2 hrs early won’t help He’s notoriously late Streets will be barricaded, as will all entrances, for his security NY despises him But apparently not enough for him to get the message Always has to be the center of attention
Hope he backs out. Nobody wants him there.
he hates NY for: never accepting him, stopping his stealing from cancer kids, fraud and rape civil trials, not voting for him so he is forcing himself on them (like predators do) to ruin their joy. He also divided NY fb fans recently the narcissists petty passive aggressive retribution
no other president was this selfish
You know they will do racial profiling and cause all sorts of shit. I hope the boos haunt his mind forever.
Seats are going to be half empty at tip-off, all so Trump can get attention.
They're coming in pre-pissed. Love it
He wants the free ticket. Grifter
Yup he made a mess when he went to the US Open last year. People waited for hours to get in. Match started late…..
He actually enjoys inconveniencing people. He thinks it makes him look more powerful!
A couple of tips: During Halftime — Do not stand suddenly. Do not lunge for the $38 nachos. They are not worth the misunderstanding. Final buzzer — Stay seated. You leave when the motorcade leaves — in an order set by people unmoved by your 7 AM alarm.
I’m sure that and alcohol sales will increase the intensity of the booooos!
And he’ll sleep through 98% of it….
Obviously the NBA finals need a ballroom
I thought the game would be played in the ballroom for security purposes?
Last sporting evert they did this and he left early.
The uSA killed around 50 senior Iranian leaders and commanders, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. These casualties occurred during coordinated strikes aimed at overthrowing the Iranian government Trump is a legitimate war target, that basketball game is not a safe venue
He does not care 🤬 selfish entitled racist rapist 🤬
Trump was asked about NBA Finals tickets being too expensive for most Americans. His response: “They can watch it on television. It’s semi-free to watch it on TV. That’s the way life goes.” Trump is set to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday.
He’s gonna be booed so mercilessly and it’s gonna be hilarious 😂
He does not care. He will never care. We all know it. Everywhere in the world. He lives only for himself. And even his family is only a tool to gain more wealth on the costs of others. Albania, I am so on your side.
What a POS! Sports have become so expensive only people with money can attend them.
Marie antoinette also told her peasants to eat cake if they have got bread and we all know how that went for her and “ the king “ 🤦♀️
He can go to the game for free most likely. He doesn’t care about anyone else.
He doesn’t give a single fuck about most Americans.
What's semi free? The first two quarters are free then you pay? Do you think he understands anything? Like groceries.
If you get free tickets like Trump you can afford to go to the game.
He wouldn't know "the way life goes" if it bit him in the face 😒🖕
He mumbled “for some” at the end of that, which makes it even worse.
No one can 'boo' like New Yorkers. I believe they will to infinity and beyond💯
Such an insufferable rich asshole response...but also he's the president...PINO
I want Spike Lee to bring Obama.
He doesn’t care. NYC doesn’t need him at the game. He is a nuisance.
Pleeeeease let that be the last game he ever attends.....
"...that's the way life goes."
I hope he gets NON STOP BOOED !!!!
"semi free" There's a special place in hell for those rich bastards who turn up for the finals when real supporters miss out.
He will be booed mercilessly
In the immortal words of Elon Musk: 'anything can be hacked.' Would be a shame to see this on the scoreboard.
See? It’s semi-free. Free for him; million$ spent by the taxpayers.
BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I hope he gets the welcome he deserves!!!!
He needs two black eyes to go with his black heart.
He will sleep through the game. Unless he is booed and then he might leave. Is this a distraction from another White House press release…?
Nobody wants to see him at the game. He tries to make everything about him!
Please, give him the welcome he deserve! A welcome never seen and heard before!
"sort of semi free" must be like only a little pregnant.
Let them eat cake vibes. Didn’t work out so great for Marie.
It would be amazing if he had a heart attack and the last thing he heard as he died was the wild cheering as the crowd figured out IT was about to happen.
Did he pay for a ticket like everyone else or did he GRIFT his way in like the JERK he is! I hope they LOUDLY BOO him!
Everything Trump touches dies, he will be a mush for the Knicks.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday. He was asked Friday about the high ticket prices by a reporter and suggested folks who cannot afford to attend should watch at home. Read more: nyti.ms/4o8Ng9Y
Marie Antoinette-ass administration part 1 million
This guy thinks normal regular working Americans are scum. His disdain for us is just ugly
The bastard has already indicated he doesn’t care about Americans’ finances “even a little bit,” so why was the question even asked.
The boos will be glorious.
He shouldn’t go. Someone might mistake him for a basketball. Hard to be orange and round.
OK, New York...show us what ya got...a simple "YOU SUCK" by several thousand full-throated New Yorkers should get international coverage
A man of the people
