Trump Has Audacity to Fall Asleep in Knicks Game After Ruining Vibes
President Donald Trump shut down midtown Manhattan Monday so he could take a nap at the NBA Finals. After getting loudly booed by attendees at Madison Square Garden, Trump was spotted snoozing in his box seats next to Knicks owner James Dolan and his granddaughter Kai Trump.DONALD TRUMP HAS FALLEN ASLEEP AT THE NBA FINALS IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. pic.twitter.com/rFrW6c4cME— CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) June 9, 2026It seems that a tense game three between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs wasn’t enough to pique the president’s interest. It’s not particularly surprising, considering that Trump has repeatedly been seen dozing off during press conferences, bill signings, and Cabinet meetings, among other apparent instances of cognitive decline. Trump’s nap came amid his highly disruptive trip to Midtown at the taxpayer’s expense and New Yorkers’ apparent dismay. Authorities closed 10 blocks around Madison Square Garden to traffic and pedestrians ahead of Trump’s arrival. The Secret Service and TSA, along with the NYPD, heightened security protocols at MSG. Attendees were forced to arrive hours early, and without any bags. And perhaps worst of all, the New York Knicks were forced to cancel their rambunctious watch party outside the stadium. Clearly the vibes were off: the Knicks lost by four points, ending a 13-game winning streak.

Trump ridiculed for insisting he wasn't booed by NBA Finals crowd: 'Sure Donald'
President Donald Trump faced another round of jeers after insisting that he was not booed during a performance of the National Anthem at Game 3 of the NBA Finals.The 79-year-old became the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game Monday night at the Madison Square Garden, where his hometown crowd booed him lustily before the New York Knicks lost their first game in the postseason, but Trump afterward insisted he heard only cheers when his face was shown on the screen inside the arena."I thought it was very good," Trump told reporters. "It was certainly amazing. I think mostly cheers. It was loud, and it was very enthusiastic."Social media users pounced on his claim as delusional."Sure, Donald, sure," posted widely followed X user Laura Reiser."Few things here," speculated HuffPost's Brandi Buchman. "He either: 1) knows he was booed and is saying this to infuriate people because their rage is his oxygen 2) has dementia 3) is a sociopathic narcissist with dementia 4) a mix of all of the above since he is psychologically and physically incapable of honesty.""Alternative universe," noted the widely followed Patriot Takes account."He should be in a maximum security prison and throw the key into a volcano but he's funny as f--- for this," opined writer Kylie Cheung."He's literally doing this," pointed out political analyst Drew Savicki, adding a "Simpsons" gif where the Mr. Burns character is assured a crowd is not booing but chanting his name as "Boo-urns.""Loud and very enthusiastic booing," agreed popular X user Annalea. "He doesn’t live in reality.""Which US president has ever talked like this openly in such a narcissistic, self-centered, self-serving way, like a common 12 year-old? Honestly," wondered Asia strategist Tom Logan."This man is a pathological liar," stated writer John Ledesma."Me me me me me me me. When is this going to end?" wondered retired solicitor Clive Wismayer.

'Did he fall asleep?' Morning Joe host calls out Trump for napping at NBA game
President Donald Trump was spotted dozing during Monday night's NBA Finals game after disrupting the arrival of thousands of fans and even commuters outside the event.The 79-year-old president's attendance necessitated enhanced security throughout New York City, and ticket holders waited in line for hours to get inside Madison Square Garden and watch parties were canceled outside the arena, but Trump was spotted nodding off as the New York Knicks saw their 13-game postseason win streak snapped by the San Antonio Spurs."There's a huge subplot to this game is that the Knicks went into it with a 13-game winning streak," said "Morning Joe" co-host Jonathan Lemire. "Sort of remarkable, and people are like, what could possibly disrupt them for their rhythm? Well we have an answer – oh, President Trump." "Did he ruin everything?" asked co-host Mika Brzezinski."He showed up last night, creating a huge security perimeter," Lemire replied. "Fans had to stand in line for hours. There was a lot of grumbling when they showed him on the jumbotron during the National Anthem. Mind you, was probably intentional to try to put down the boos. Well, it didn't work. It was thunderous boos from those inside, from both the pool reporter in the building, and you could hear it on the TV broadcast as well. They were very, very, very loud.""I enjoy that our show notes here that were prepared, it says, you know, 'Trump was there on the same night the Knicks' 13-game winning streak was snapped, parentheses," Lemire added. "There is no evidence of correlation between the two circumstances. I don't know. I think there are a lot of Knicks fans that would beg to differ.""Did he fall asleep?" Brzezinski interjected.Lemire agreed there was video footage of Trump dozing, which was shared by the right-leaning New York Post on social media."He did not shut down New York and disrupt this game to fall asleep at it," Brzezinski marveled. "The New York Post Twitter account has footage of Trump pretty clearly falling asleep at some point in the second half," Lemire said. "No, it can't be," Brzezinski deadpanned. "Not with all that 'Sleepy Joe' stuff. I mean, you can't.""Well, he managed to find a way," Lemire replied. "He was there, he was booed and now, Game 4 is so gigantic." - YouTube youtu.be
