Prominent conservative commentator Ann Coulter hammered President Donald Trump Sunday night over what she labeled as his “absolute worst” act of selfishness she’d witnessed yet, one that’s expected to inconvenience thousands of Americans.
On Friday, Trump confirmed that he planned to attend the NBA Finals game in New York between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, scheduled to kick off Monday night. As such, the thousands of attendees will have to adhere to a “strict-no bag policy” and be subjected to “TSA-style screening procedures,” CNBC reported.
“Of all the selfish, narcissistic things Trump has done, attending [Madison Square Garden] to see the Knicks play in person Monday night is the absolute worst,” Coulter, an early backer of Trump, wrote Sunday night in a social media post on X to her more than 2.1 million followers.
“20,000 attendees will be MASSIVELY inconvenienced for all the extra security, the Knicks Watch Party at Garden is canceled, thousands of extra law enforcement officers will be required (paid for by taxpayers), traffic will be a disaster – all so he can sit in the Garden rather than watch the game on TV.”
Panelists on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” predicted Monday that Trump will receive a less-than-friendly reception from sports fans while attending the event, with host Jonathan Lemire expecting a “volume of boos” should they show the president “on the jumbotron.”
In addition to her criticism, Coulter also offered Trump a piece of advice.
“Presidents ought to be willing to sacrifice once in a while,” she wrote.
