trump going to the NBA finals in NY is another example that shows he does not give a damn about the average guy or gal

It still boggles my mind how a selfish rich asshole that shits on a golden toilet and has always shitted on the little guy by stiffing small businesses that worked for him, became "the man of the people".

Going to the NBA finals is yet another example that he does not give a shit about the average guy or gal. NYers that cannot afford to go inside the arena have been having outdoor watch parties and celebrating in the streets. All that will have to be changed with trump going to the game. Secret Service will want to push the crowds back or they may not be able to have the watch party at all.
Furthermore, why the fuck is he going? Doesn't he have more important things to do? Like figure out how to end the war he started?

I doubt that he even likes basketball. He just wants to be a part of the conversation.

blame it on Trump.

Because if they win, Trump will take all the credit.

BTW, does the NBA have a Peace Prize?

and he said something along the lines that you can watch it for basically free on TV and that's the way it goes.
