Donald Trump made the decision to attend game three of the NBA Finals at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Monday, where he was roundly booed — and Seth Meyers was just as unimpressed as Knicks fans.
“Come on, man, why you gotta ruin everything?” asks the Late Night host in the clip above. “Can you just let us have this one thing without making it all about you? Do you even care about the NBA? As far as I can tell, your only connection to the sport is the similarity between your complexion and the surface of a basketball.
“By the way, Trump going to a Knicks game makes it 100 times funnier that he did not go to his own son’s wedding,” Meyers added. “What a knife twist. I bet when Don Jr. was little, Trump would play catch with the neighbor’s kid.”
The host goes on to play a clip of Trump responding to a question about the high price of tickets to see the New York Knicks vs the San Antonio Spurs, saying “it’s sort of, semi-free to watch it on television” and “it’s the way life goes.”
“Next time you’re wondering why the president hasn’t fixed the economy, just remember he uses terms like ‘sort of, semi-free,'” says Meyers. “Second, ‘that’s the way life goes’ is such a funny thing to say when you were elected to change how life was going.”
