It's Hilarious That Trump Plans to Attend Knicks Game [View all]

The overall impact of that will be to piss off almost every Knicks fan who has paid huge money for a seat at Game 3. Suddenly, they have to show up way earlier than usual, can't carry any bag into the venue, and will be subject to security screening that goes way beyond even airport screening.

So, suppose you spent several thousand dollars for a single ticket to that game, and you hear what you'll have to go through to watch Trump waddle to his seat and fall asleep. How's that going to sit with you. How early will you arrive? Do you need to bring your passport? Do you have to wear a MAGA cap?

Pissed off. That's what they're going to be. And rightly so. Even worse, if the Secret Service determines that they can't protect Trump effectively, he won't be showing up at all. And, if he does show up, he won't be there for the whole game, anyhow. He'll be nodding off most of the time he is there, actually.

So, enjoy your game, folks. It'll be fun, I promise. Plus, you might get a glimpse of the worst President the USA has ever had.
