“Daily Show” correspondent Desi Lydic skewered President Donald “Jumpshot” Trump after he claimed the relentless booing he received at Monday night’s NBA Finals game was “mostly cheers.”
“Do you know what it means to have every single person in New York booing you?” Lydic asked. “Even a guy taking a shit on the subway will have one New Yorker cheering him on.”
“All that incessant booing, he must have been devastated,” Lydic added.
“It was certainly amazing. It was, I think, mostly cheers,” Trump told reporters outside Air Force One after the game.
Lydic then brought up one of the president’s least favorite subjects: the Epstein Files.
“I guess the DOJ redacted all the boos before they hit his ears,” Lydic said.
She also couldn’t resist taking a jab at how energetic Trump was during the game.
“But whether you like that Trump was there or not, he is a lifelong Knicks fan, so he wasn’t going to let some haters stop him from enjoying every second of the game,” Lydic said before playing a news clip claiming “Trump appeared to fall asleep.”
“Sir, you can’t sleep through the game!” Lydic said. “You’re the president, not Game 3 referee Marc Davis.”
