I think trump's appearance at the Knicks game last night proves he is a jinx and that as the book title goes, "Everything he touches turns to %$#&^."

Prove me wrong. He made the whole experience much less enjoyable for the real fans who were there. He kept the just as real fans who couldn't attend because they couldn't afford tickets from experiencing the watch parties nearby. He made the whole thing about him, and yes I think he contributed to the team's loss. The Knicks had won 13 straight before he showed up!

Beyond that, last night's episode was an exhibition of what trump is doing to our country.
He is taking our country down with him and making everything about him. We were warned about this dynamic when he ran the first time. And who warned us? New Yorkers.

How about a new nickname for trump? Jinx. I think it fits.

He really comes across as a jinx and that tag could stick.

It makes for an excellent post and a new nickname for him.

No I didn't see that. I'm very much the outsider here, being from CA and having set foot in the state of NY once in my life. But it sounds exactly like what Mamdani would do.

"Tangerine loser demented shit-stain," but I'll go along with "Jinx," for now. 😉

He looked very miserable

His granddaughter there did not seem like she was enjoying it much either

Off the hook? It seems he invited him. He did this to his own team. Why?

because I don't know anything about him or even who he is. Not a sports fan and not a New Yorker. But I'd like to hear the dirt if you've got it.

He is a Trump supporter. I mean I could understand if the Spurs owner invited him to disrupt the winning streak but JC their own owner screws them over.

I was not putting this on you, I haven’t heard anyone in the media mentioning it either.

I love seeing it thrown back in the face of MAGAts.
