President Donald Trump’s expected attendance for Game 3 of the ongoing NBA finals has truly sparked a buzz. The POTUS announced sometime back that he had been invited by none other than James Dolan to come and cheer on the Knicks as they play the finals for the first time in almost three decades.
The President has been in sports news for quite some time, especially after he was introduced by Jaxson Dart a while ago at a rally. For this, Dart received plenty of backlash and criticism, even after the Giants star desperately tried to justify his actions and miserably failed. Craig Carton recently issued a challenge to Dart, asking him to sit beside Trump at Game 3 if he has guts.

Jaxson Dart desperately tried to quell the backlash for introducing President Donald Trump by listing the various people in his family who have served the nation in the past. Dart clearly thought that this would bring all his haters to his side, but it only ended up angering people even more.

Dart has been awfully quiet since all the criticism, not responding even after the POTUS sent out a tweet asking him directly not to be bothered by the backlash. If Dart was not ready to respond to the President, then he might surely not be ready to respond if the POTUS invited him to sit beside him at Game 3.
President Donald Trump’s Game 3 Security Measures Angers Morgan Freeman
With President Donald Trump announcing that he will be attending Game, the NYPD and the Secret Service have taken it upon themselves to instill deeper security measures at the garden. To make sure that the POTUS remains safe and secure, the NYPD has canceled a watch party outside MSG and also banned bags and whatnot at the arena. The measures have gained plenty of criticism, including a scathing tweet from none other than Morgan Freeman.
“Don’t normalize this! Oh right, Trump owns you.”Morgan Freeman tweeted.

Freeman himself got plenty of backlash for his tweet, with many trolling him for his views. Some even feel that the actor is just peeved because he has been a Democrat supporter forever and endorsed President Trump’s rival during the political campaign.
