The president always faces a tough crowd in his liberal-leaning home city, but he rankled New Yorkers even further by plunging the area around the venue into lockdown mode with his presence. <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Ticket holders were forced to endure airport-style security to get into the game, and the area around the venue resembled a war zone, with special agents and thousands of cops patrolling the streets. The circus created by Trump\u2019s attendance was reflected in the welcome he received inside. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fans went red in the face, booing and heckling the Republican figurehead as he popped up on screen when the national anthem was being sung. An impromptu nap and a Knicks loss later, Trump faced the press and came up with what appeared to be a well-timed excuse for missing the next game in the series. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t, uh, I don\u2019t\u2026we\u2019re busy, uh, with a lot of important stuff right now at EPA,\u201d Lee Zeldin, Trump\u2019s Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and de facto NBA playoffs spokesman, bumbled when asked by reporters if the president would make the game in San Antonio on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1052\">Fury Erupts as Top World Cup Referee Denied Entry to U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike a war,\u201d Trump interjected, before grinning.

Asked in the Oval Office if he\u2019d be attending the nuptials, Trump replied: \u201cHe\u2019d like me to go\u2026 I\u2019m going to try and make it. I said: \u2018You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran\u2026\u2019 That\u2019s one I can\u2019t win on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He later wrote on Truth Social that he could not make the wedding because of \u201ccircumstances pertaining to Government.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Less than a week later, he played golf at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., on two consecutive days. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1050\">Sleepless Trump, 79, Scrambles to Rewrite MSG Booing in 2 A.M.
