Donald Trump smirked through a thunderous chorus of boos from New York Knicks fans after he was shown on the jumbotron during the national anthem at Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
His visit turned Madison Square Garden into a security fortress. Streets were shut down. Watch parties were canceled. Fans who paid huge money to be there were stuck outside in long lines, forced through extra checkpoints and left wondering if they would even make tipoff.
Inside the arena, the message was just as clear.
When Trump appeared on the big screen, the boos rang out for about 10 seconds. When the camera cut to Knicks star Jalen Brunson, the boos instantly turned into cheers.
That said everything.
