Knicks fans paid $10K for tickets & waited 2 extra hours to get in so that Grampy could take an nice nap in his box

https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-79-caught-dozing-during-knicks-game-he-ruined/

Trump was caught with his eyes closed in public yet again, this time during Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, where his attendance was decidedly controversial.

After being greeted with rude gestures and critical signs ahead of the game before facing a chorus of deafening boos during the national anthem, the president was recorded later during the game with his eyes closed, appearing to have fallen asleep.

Liberal commentator Joe Gallina first shared the footage on X, where it was soon picked up by Meidas Touch, which described the 79-year-old as taking “a long blink,” referencing an excuse used by the White House in May after the president was caught with his eyes closed in the Oval Office yet again.

“He was blinking, you absolute moron,” the White House-associated X account @RapidResponse47 wrote at the time in response to a Reuters photograph of the president with his eyes shut.

There ARE priorities!

I wouldn't have gone to Junior's wedding either, but I wasn't invited.
