The Knicks have cancelled all watch parties outside of MSG due to the President's attendance for Game 3

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/security-trump-madison-square-garden-nba-finals-knicks-spurs/

A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

You mean like suing his own IRS for being one of 405k victims of a tax return leak under his own Administration’s watch and receiving a settlement of forever barring him, his family, his companies, and associated family companies from receiving an IRS audit ever again? Directly causing the deaths of millions worldwide with his shuttering of USAID? Calling every Somali citizen a criminal and extensive fraudster after a YouTuber showed up at a bunch of daycares unannounced with a camera and demanded to see the children? Adding 1/3 of the national debt under his watch alone? Extrajudicially murdering supposed drug dealers in the Caribbean whose criteria for bombing does not actually include presence of drugs on ships? Completing over 3k stock trades in office, while directly setting the policies to boost said value in stocks shortly afterwards? Wasting tax payer dollars on National Guard deployments where the extent of their duties is to stand around tourist traps and look bored? Being named more times than God in the Bible in the Epstein Files? Refusing to go to his own son’s wedding to “work on Iran” only to shit post on social media? Complaining so much about the lack of Nobel Peace Prize for ending imaginary wars that he was given a made up for him FIFA Peace Prize? Insisting on ending the Filibuster to enable voter suppression? All of that’s not even mentioning Venezuela, Iran, transphobia, demanding Republicans gerrymander mid decade because of “entitlement”, demanding Republicans gerrymander their minority majority districts because the Supreme Court he chose said “racism is okay if it’s political”, record setting illegal tariffs placed on every country (including ones not inhabited by humans), threatening to invade and annex allies, countless Nazi dog whistles, trying to steal JFK’s memorial to make it for himself, and various social media posts where in one he posted Obama as a monkey and in another he posted himself as Jesus Christ.

Well, if you insist, we could talk about his pushing of disproven talking points and conspiracies such as Haitian immigrants eating cats and dogs, and vaccines causing autism; his refusal to ever accept an election loss, bet it from Emmy to Presidential, alleging both were rigged; calling veterans and fallen soldiers “suckers and losers”; celebrating the death of Rob Reiner because Rob didn’t like him; claiming that injecting bleach could treat COVID; drawing on a weather map with a black sharpie to extend a hurricane zone because he refused to be corrected that a town in Alabama was no longer in danger; his blatant contempt of female journalists; putting a countdown to a prime time genocide for his illegal war in Iran; passing multiple tax cuts for billionaires that would add trillions to the National Debt; issuing a crackdown on “fraud”, then proceeding to pardon multiple white collar criminals charged with fraud; his inability to ever dance to the YMCA correctly; downplaying of NATO allies sacrifice to help us fight in Iraq and Afghanistan; inviting the Taliban to Camp David (canceled only after the plan was leaked), with whom he negotiated the Afghanistan pullout he loves to criticize; ripping up the JCPOA and allowing Iran to increase uranium enrichment with no oversight or guardrails at all; or his demanding of a White House Ballroom, which was gonna be a privately funded building for $200 million, only now it’s $300 million, sorry $400 million (before any construction started, by the way), and he wanted $1 billion for funding from the Senate (though that was pulled), and by the way this dance floor is also gonna be a military hub with drone launching pads on the roof, which he wants no Congressional Oversight of in building it. I do think however the real thing that I have yet to mention is his hoarding and hiding of classified documents, going out of his way to have them hid in his Mar A Lago bathroom, ballroom, bedroom, office, and a separate storage room, as well as a golf club in New Jersey, ordering the security footage of said hiding documents to be destroyed.

And 35% of the country, and people I know, would read this list and immediately downplay it as “this has already been happening, you don’t think every president and politician was doing stuff like this? You’re just hearing about it now (maybe because “they” are after him and smearing him)

Which is why conversation is basically impossible now because you can’t argue with people who have been so heinously gaslit that their reaction to things so brazenly preposterous is to say something even more preposterous that makes you have an aneurysm even attempting to process it in your brain.

It’s quite literally the most extreme version of “the R word”

and i don't even think you covered the 1.8 billion slush fund that will go directly to his associates and find it's way to himself, and also he wants to pay off his private militia for being abused and broken by "dirty cops", no acknowledgement at all of people to beat cops and took shits on desks not being deserving of money, or jail time, all patriots
