Former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering attending the NBA Finals next week to watch the New York Knicks. This comes after he did not attend his son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding over the weekend. Trump had initially planned to make a surprise appearance at Madison Square Garden if the Knicks lost Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, but following the team's sweep of the Cleveland Cavaliers, he is now expected to focus on the NBA Finals, according to The New York Times.
Donald Trump Jr. married Bettina Anderson in a private ceremony in the Bahamas on Saturday. Trump's public schedule indicated he would be at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey that day, but reports suggest he remained in Washington instead. When asked about missing the wedding, Trump cited pressing international matters, including negotiations related to the ongoing conflict in Iran.
Trump has a history of attending major sporting events during his presidency, including the Super Bowl and the U.S. Open. He has also maintained relationships with sports figures, including UFC president Dana White and Knicks owner James Dolan, who has supported his political campaigns.
