That’s our president
Donald Trump inconvenienced thousands of fans in attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals and tens of thousands of fans who wanted to watch the game from outside the area as they did in Games 1 and 2. He forced the closure of roads, costing business owners untold profits. All this so he could get roundly booed and sleep through the Knicks’ loss. That’s our guy.
Wrong arena
The NBA Finals are meant to showcase the world’s best basketball players, not provide a backdrop for someone’s oversized ego. Trump reportedly showed up hoping to bask in the spotlight, only to discover the crowd wasn’t handing out standing ovations. Perhaps he simply got lost. The Barnum & Bailey Circus was in town, and they may have been wondering why their head clown missed curtain call.
Cares only about himself
I’ll suggest that never has one president inconvenienced so many people for so little reason as when Donald Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday night in New York.
Everything Trump touches dies
The popular saying is “Everything Trump touches dies.” If the San Antonio Spurs come back to win the NBA Finals, it’ll just be the latest example.
Will it ever end?
Now the Democrats are mad that President Trump went to Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The man truly can’t take a single step without the left losing its collective mind.
It’s a game
Relax, everyone. Presidents have attending sporting events pretty much since the invention of sporting events. The sun will come up tomorrow.
Destruction of America
It is so obvious that Democrats are trying to destroy America and the American way of life. Governors such as Hocul, Waltz, Pritzker, Newsom and other extremists of the left wing of the party demonstrate every day their bias. Mayors, senators and representatives of the Democrat party also demonstrate their hatred for the American way of life. Blame lies with the AOCs, Sanders and Warren Democrats who hold the party hostage through their support of illegal immigrants from countries that hate America, but take our resources.
This is fine
Our weapon stockpiles are low, our oil reserves are low, our reputation with our allies is dirt, the courts are smothered by Trump lawsuits, people can’t make ends meet, and Donald Trump is spending our money like there is no tomorrow on an unnecessary war and making Washington D.C. a gold homage to himself. Is it any wonder he is criticized?
Another option
The Weather Channel was stripped from cable because Sparklight chose to not pay them what they charged. All the streaming devices are increasing their prices. Ditch cable because it is too high, anyway, and pay for only the channels you watch. The Weather Channel costs $2.99 a month. Cancel after hurricane season if you want.
Pitching another fit
You’ve got to give Donald Trump an A++ for effort on his hissy fit and tirade on “Meet the Press.” It was an awesome performance, but too bad it’s another failed distraction from the six years of requests for evidence of rigged elections. He wants everyone to just blindly accept his baseless claims.
What proof?
Trump stomped out of a Meet The Press interview after stating that California’s elections are crooked and rigged. The interviewer persistently ask him ... what proof do you have that California’s elections are rigged? Of course, he had no answer because they are not. Instead, he accused every major network including NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN and labeled them all as “crooked.”
UFC and UPC
It seems inevitable that we’re going to have UFC fighting on the White House lawn. Why not go all the way and stick a big, old UPC barcode on the White House? We already know it’s for sale to the highest bidder.
