President Trump on Monday evening arrived at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

The New York Knicks faced off against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.

Trump is the first sitting President to attend an NBA Finals game.

Of course, the left-wing media hyperventilated after President Trump said he was going to attend the game. Trump defended his decision to attend the NBA Finals game as tickets for the event soared.

Trump said NBA fans can watch the game on TV.

“They can watch it on television. It’s sort of semi-free to watch it on television, but that’s the way life goes,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One over the weekend.

Marine One landed in New York City as President Trump arrived to Game 3.
