Trump's Going To Game 3 And Doing What He Does Best: Making Everyone Else's Life Harder

Trump’s Going To Game 3 And Doing What He Does Best: Making Everyone Else’s Life Harder

To the displeasure of everyone not named Donald Trump, President Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game Monday night.

The decision will massively inconvenience everyone else attending Game 3 at Madison Square Garden, who have been told to arrive two hours early as part of the enhanced security measures. The attendees have also been told they now can’t bring bags or purses.

New York Knicks’ faithful planning to attend the watch party outside the stadium also got bad news. Because of Trump, that watch party’s been canceled.

“There will be no watch parties outside of Madison Square Garden for Game 3 only,” the New York Police Department said in a statement. “This was done fully in coordination with the Secret Service because of the presidential visit. We expect watch parties at Madison Square Garden to resume for Game 4.”
