Anyone who blames Trump for Knicks’s loss lacks common logic: Joe Concha
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha defended President Donald Trump’s presence at the NBA Finals at the Knicks game, arguing that fans who booed him either “don’t know basketball” or don’t understand basic logic. He criticized the audience as coming from the “richest 1%,” saying they aren’t representative of Trump’s voting base, and noted Trump’s small share of votes in Manhattan in 2024. Concha also argued that Trump has attended Knicks games since the 1980s and praised Whoopi Goldberg for defending him.
He added that the Knicks’ postseason outlook remains favorable, saying they still have home-court advantage as they head to Game 4 and predicting they “probably will still win the series.”
Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha slammed New York Knicks fans who “booed” President Donald Trump at the NBA finals, calling out the “richest 1%” who didn’t want Trump there.
“Anybody who blames Donald Trump for being there for their loss, does not know basketball, does not know the Knicks, and certainly does not know basically anything about common logic,” Concha said on Fox News’s Fox & Friends First Tuesday.
