Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries thought he was dunking on President Donald Trump by claiming the man who built two skyscrapers in Manhattan knows nothing about the New York Knicks. So silly! Anyone who’s followed Trump over the years knows he's a huge Knicks fan. Trump attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, where the San Antonio Spurs beat the Knicks 115-111. The Knicks still lead the series 2-1.
Here’s Jeffries shooting off his ignorant mouth before the NBA Championship game. (WATCH)
Hakeem Jeffries wakes up, buys a Knicks hat, then lectures Trump on fandom.

Temu Obama isn’t much of Knicks fan if he doesn’t know Trump’s history with the team. 😂

Sounds like Trump knows his stuff. But there's more.
Here's Trump cradling Knicks power forward Charles Oakley. (WATCH)

It’s almost as if Jeffries doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Posters say Jeffries looks like a fair-weather fan. He was sporting a brand new Knicks cap while he was throwing up air balls against Trump.
It's clear to me that some intern just brought that way to big of a hat for Jeffries head 🤣

Maybe it's a hand-me-down from Senator Cory Booker?
If only the Democrats had some policies worth pushing instead of stupid insults aimed at Trump that don't land.
They have nothing. What an absolute disaster this is for them.

#TemuObama @RepJeffries has nothing to help America. All he has is his usual schtick of hate @POTUS. It just goes to show you how stupid Democrats are to keep electing morons like this into office.

Temu Obama was in diapers when Trump was following the Knicks
