The New York Knicks are preparing for the madhouse that will be Madison Square Garden on Monday night for Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Josh Hart and his Knicks will be hosting the San Antonio Spurs, but there's expected to be a special guest in the form of Donald Trump.
Security measures have been taken throughout Madison Square Garden and the areas around MSG, which will include closing the areas from 4PM EST.
With Trump's visit getting global attention in the hours leading up to Game 3, and old tweet from Josh Hart has resurfaced on social media. Back on November 7, 2020, Josh Hart tweeted out:
“YESSIR!!!! GET TRUMP'S DUMBA** OUT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!”
YESSIR!!!! GET TRUMP’S DUMBASS OUT THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!

That tweet had millions of views before Game 3 and will likely have even more into Monday and Tuesday with Trump's scheduled attendance of Game 3.
Thousands of fans took to Twitter to support Hart and also express how they feel via replies or quote tweets.
“I need y'all goats to keep this same energy if the orange clown shows up in MSG,” said one fan.
