Trump attending the NBA Finals is a selfish move that burdens thousands of New Yorkers with massive security disruptions, canceled events and taxpayer-funded costs. A sitting president should be willing to make personal sacrifices rather than force 20,000 fans to deal with the chaos. Watching the game on TV would've been the right call.
Trump is a lifelong New Yorker and Knicks fan who has every right to attend an NBA Finals game in his home city. The outrage is pure double standards — no one would've batted an eye if Obama or Biden showed up courtside. A president supporting his hometown team is something worth celebrating, not condemning.
