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.
