A potential 2028 presidential candidate, who now claims he wants only to be involved in the debates, is blaming Donald Trump for the New York Knicks’ Monday night loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
ESPN sportscaster Stephen A. Smith, never one short of words, is blaming another media big mouth, President Trump, for causing his hometown basketball team’s loss — just by showing up!
According to Smith pre-game, Trump has “got no business here tonight. It has nothing to do with politics. It was everything to do with the fervor that exists around the New York Knicks and he is disrupting everything the Knicks have been vibing with.”
Trump, of course, shot back with his overused insults at someone who disagrees with him. “I think he’s a nice guy, but you need a certain aptitude to run for president,” Trump said. “You need a high IQ. I’m not sure that Stephen has that. I don’t think he does, actually.”
Smith would probably make a great centrist in the Oval Office, but he has disavowed actually wanting the job. What he wants, he told Fox’s Sean Hannity, is to be involved in the debates leading up to the 2028 presidential nominations. Smith is a tried-and-true Democrat at heart, just one who hasn’t bought into the party’s far-left tilt.
Trump was booed in the Garden during the National Anthem, and at times he appeared to fall asleep during the game.
