Trump doesn't want to be blamed, so today he called the NBA and demanded they find five more points for the Knicks.During the national anthem, they showed Trump on the jumbotron, and the crowd loudly booed.Trump's staff was like, they're not booing.They're just saying, we love your reflecting pool.The reflecting pool.Yep, Knicks fans are blaming Trump for the loss on the bright side for Trump.
