Smith, the ESPN sportscaster whom Trump himself said would make a good presidential nominee, blasted the president over his \u201cridiculous\u201d decision to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Monday, where the New York Knicks will face off against the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThis president has no business showing up in New York City. I am dead serious,\u201d Smith, 58, said on ESPN\u2019s <i>First Take<\/i> on Monday morning. \u201cIt is selfish, it is narcissistic, it is ridiculous that he\u2019s coming to this game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI would say the same thing if it were Obama, George W., Clinton\u2014I don\u2019t give a damn [if] we went back to Reagan,&#8221; he added. \u201cThis is not a football stadium in some space in Texas where you\u2019ve got a whole bunch of outlays\u2026 this is the Garden. This is midtown Manhattan. You have any idea what the congestion is going to be like in New York City here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The media personality explained that he was instructed to go straight to the stadium after his radio show wrapped up at 3 p.m., despite the game\u2019s 8:30 p.m. tipoff, thanks to the extra security measures in place around the venue for Trump\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s gotten to the point where if this president passes gas, people gonna call it perfume. It\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d Smith continued. \u201cCertain things, you\u2019re just wrong about. You\u2019re the President of the United States. That means, whenever you show up, it\u2019s nothing but congestion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t do that in New York City,\u201d he added, adding that the city is \u201calready congested as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Smith pointed out how watch parties around the city have been derailed by the president\u2019s presence at the Garden, not to mention the surge in ticket prices caused by his attendance.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1013\">Obama Judge Humiliates Trump Over \u2018Unlawful\u2019 Visa Thrift<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got avenues shut off, we\u2019ve got streets shut off because the president is coming up,\u201d the commentator said. \u201cWhat happened to Mar-a-Lago? What happened to the White House?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about questioning his fandom,\u201d Smith concluded. \u201cThis is not about questioning politics. It\u2019s questioning your selfishness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reached for comment on Smith\u2019s remarks, White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told the Daily Beast in a statement: \u201cSports are at the forefront of American culture, and President Trump loves them as the people\u2019s president. As a lifelong fan, President Trump looks forward to watching the Knicks compete to bring home their first NBA championship in more than 50 years at Madison Square Garden tonight. U.S. Secret Service and NYPD\u2019s important efforts will ensure this historic game is safe for all attendees.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s surprise decision to attend Monday\u2019s Finals match on a whim sent New York basketball fans into a spiral.<\/p>\n<p>The venue, in tandem with the U.S. Secret Service, imposed a strict no-bag policy and TSA-style screening for ticketed fans at Monday\u2019s game, while a several-block perimeter around the Garden will also be closed off for Trump\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Local businesses that looked forward to a profitable night, such as bars and parking garages, are also expected to suffer from Trump\u2019s midtown lockdown.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1011\">Bill Maher Makes Dramatic Prediction About Midterms<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s favorite sports commentator dunked on his decision to crash his hometown\u2019s biggest sports event in decades.
