President Donald Trump was confronted by a reporter on the “reception he got from New Yorkers at the Knicks game — where he was lustily booed — and claimed it was “amazing.”
The president was already taking heavy criticism over his attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals when it was announced that fans would have to show up two hours early for a TSA-style screening and a 10-square-block blockade went up hours before that.
When Trump appeared on the Jumbotron during the National Anthem, the fans loudly booed the president — and many went on to blame him when he presided over a 115-111 defeat to the San Antonio Spurs, snapping a 13-game, 46-day winning streak.
Trump — accompanied by Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and EPA chief Lee Zeldin — spoke to reporters for about 17 minutes after touching down at JFK International Airport.
The president and his cabinet friends had a wildly different take on the game. Zeldin called it “awesome” and said the “energy was amazing,” and when a reporter later asked Trump about the reception, he responded similarly:
EPA ADMINISTRATOR LEE ZELDIN: Well, you know, the Spurs, they have some good players. Wembeyama, Castle did well tonight, but I’m still going with the Knicks. I think that they’re gonna pull it off. And Mr President, it was awesome to be able to spend the night with you. The energy was amazing. Jim Dolan was a was a great host.

REPORTER: Speaking of New York, did you see Mayor Mamdani and the game?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I did not, no.
REPORTER: What did you think of the reception of Gotham’s Knicks fans tonight?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I thought great. I mean, I thought it was amazing actually–.
You mean when they had the camera on me. I thought it was very good, yeah.
It was certainly amazing. It was, it was, I think mostly cheers. It was, it was loud and it was very enthusiastic.
