First, he invites Trump to MSG, which infuriates and inconveniences countless fans.
Now he gets in a pissing contest with the Mayor and police commissioner.
Injecting unnecessary drama, negativity and dissension into what had been an incredibly unifying communal experience

Fun Fact: One of these men has 3 baby mamas, cheated on every wife he’s had, was impeached twice, is a 34-count convicted felon, was found liable for sexual abuse, ran a fraudulent charity & university & was exposed in the Epstein files.
The other man is President Obama.
