Why would that be?

I know it’s only one offense, but it’s gonna leave a mark.

🚨REMINDER TO TRUMP:
"NEW YORK HATES YOU"🚨

It will be a billion times worse if you follow through with your threat to attend Game 3 tonight. pic.twitter.com/RsezNMA94F

WATCH — @stephenasmith: “Trump has no business showing up at Game 3 tonight… I am dead serious. It is selfish. It is narcissistic. It is ridiculous… if they lose I’m blaming him. And I hope Republicans lose votes because of it.” pic.twitter.com/O29mCJ4eih

To be clear, this isn't about protecting fans. According to former MSG staffers, the Garden has at times ignored basic standard security protocols, as our @WIRED/@pablofindsout investigation detailed. This is about protecting Trump -- while inconveniencing everyone else. https://t.co/gjEZX8HaQe

And how long will Trump be there? I still say it’ll be less than 30 minutes, in and out.

How it started How it’s going

MSG canceled @nyknicks watch parties for the narcissist-in-chief, so @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani set one for Bryant Park

This is how you mayor 💪🏽 pic.twitter.com/TveSElneSn

Again: Mamdani wins. Whither Trump’s “feral cunning’ and political instincts, his common touch and crowd appeal? Could it be he’s passed his “sell by date”?

These people have been waiting an hour to get into Madison Square Garden.

Here is a first person account:

“They routed everyone down to 34th and 8th.

Police barracade.

Through metal detectors to a point about 200 feet from MSG.

Then they came and apologized and said… pic.twitter.com/7Ol3m1gWX2

These people have been waiting an hour to get into Madison Square Garden.

Here is a first person account:

“They routed everyone down to 34th and 8th.

Police barracade.

Through metal detectors to a point about 200 feet from MSG.

Then they came and apologized and said they were confused and instead we needed to exit the barracade and go to 34th and 7th.

We walked there and then a different set of police told us to go to 32nd and 6th.

There are hundreds, if not a thousand people, wandering around in giant herds not knowing where to go or how to get in.

The police keep saying they don’t know the protocol.”

Yeah, it could be.
