President Trump put Stephen A. Smith, arguably the loudest mouth in sports, in his place after Smith said he would blame him if the New York Knicks lost Game 3 of the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n

As TGP readers know, Trump attended the game at historic Madison Square Garden to support his beloved Knicks as they looked to seize an insurmountable 3-0 lead over the San Antonio Spurs. But the Spurs rallied in the second half to hand the Knicks a crushing 115-111<\/a> defeat in front of a hostile crowd. Trump was given a rude welcome by the TDS-suffering crowd at the Garden, being roundly booed <\/a> when he was shown on the Jumbotron during the National Anthem.<\/p>\n

However, his supporters in the crowd also started chanting \u201cUSA!\u2026 USA!\u2026\u201d when the president was shown on the monitors.<\/p>\n

The fans eventually got their just deserts when the Spurs rallied in the second half to hand the Knicks a crushing 115-111<\/a> defeat and jump back into the series.<\/p>\n

Before the game, Smith, who has talked about running for President in 2028, announced that he would blame Trump if the Knicks lost.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis president has no business showing up in New York City. I am dead serious,\u201d Smith whined. \u201cIt is selfish. It is narcissistic. It is ridiculous that he is coming to this game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it causes the New York Knicks to lose tonight, I\u2019m blaming him,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

While on his way back to D.C., Trump, a longtime Knicks fan, was asked about Smith\u2019s stupid statement. Unsurprisingly, Trump did not hold back.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith, who has talked about running for President, said he would blame you if the Knicks lost the game. How do you respond to that?<\/p>\n

TRUMP: \u201cI think he\u2019s a nice guy, but you need a certain aptitude to run for president. You need a high IQ; I\u2019m not sure Stephen has that.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think he does, actually.\u201d<\/p>\n
