I still don’t know why he goes to sporting events like these. It ends up costing the s as Mercian tax payers millions and is a massive headache for the people attending

Shut up pussy. Trump isn’t the first pres to attend a major sporting event. Do some research on events Black Jesus attended and report back. I’m sure you are ok with those.

Analyze the number that each attended then compare - see Claude’s answer below:

Trump — First term (2017–2021)
• College Football Playoff title game, Jan 2018 (Alabama–Georgia, Atlanta) and again Jan 2020 (LSU–Clemson, New Orleans)
• Game 5 of the 2019 World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros at Nationals Park ? — the first sitting president to attend a World Series game since George W. Bush in 2001 ?
• LSU–Alabama regular-season football game, Nov 2019
• Daytona 500 in February 2020, where he served as Grand Marshal ?
• Various UFC events

Trump — Second term (2025–present)
This has been far more active — about a dozen major events in 2025 alone. ?

• Super Bowl LIX on Feb 9, 2025 — the first sitting president to attend the NFL championship game. ? Daytona 500 on Feb 16, 2025. ?
• NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia (March 2025), a LIV Golf event at his Doral club (April), and UFC 314 in Miami (April) and UFC 316 in New Jersey (June). ?
• The U.S. Open men’s final on Sept 7, 2025; a Yankees–Tigers game on Sept 11; and the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black on Sept 26. ?
• A Commanders–Lions NFL game on Nov 9, 2025, and the Army–Navy game on Dec 13, 2025. ?
• The College Football Playoff National Championship in Miami ? (Jan 2026) and the FIFA Club World Cup. ?
• Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden — making him the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game. ?

Obama (2009–2017)
Obama attended plenty of games but deliberately skipped the marquee finals. He explained that his motorcade and Secret Service presence created such a massive disruption that he worried about ruining the experience for other fans, so despite attending regular-season NBA games he stayed home for the Finals. ? He never attended a Super Bowl or World Cup as president. ?

• Lots of college basketball: an NCAA tournament game with UK PM David Cameron in Dayton (2012) ?, the Syracuse–Marquette regional final in Washington (2013) ?, an NCAA women’s tournament game to watch his niece play for Princeton (2015), and the Carrier Classic aboard the USS Carl Vinson (2011).
• The 2009 MLB All-Star Game in St. Louis, where he threw the first pitch — the first president in 33 years to do so at an All-Star Game. ?
• The Nationals’ 2010 Opening Day first pitch. ?
• Regular-season NBA games (e.g., a Bulls–Wizards game in 2009) and the 2012 U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team game against

He is a lifelong Knicks fan and he was invited by the owner to watch the game with him. Anyone saying he should not attend is a retard.

He can go wherever he wants. He should expect to get booed in these shite holes. Come to some SEC football games where he’ll get standing ovations for minutes. The problem with Trump is that he wants to be loved by the people that hate him the most.

And yet, somehow, we didn’t hear complaints about taxpayers money for Obama attending events. Money is money, regardless of how important the game was perceived to be.

You started off saying major events. Then you did this.

Wouldn’t say that’s a fair assessment. Commie got 50+% of the vote. All others were at 49%

The crowd seemed sort of 50/50ish on boos and cheers. I’d say for NYC that’s pretty good.
