\u201cDaily Show<\/a>\u201d correspondent Desi Lydic skewered President Donald \u201cJumpshot\u201d Trump<\/a> after he claimed the relentless booing he received at Monday night\u2019s NBA Finals game was \u201cmostly cheers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know what it means to have every single person in New York booing you?\u201d\u00a0Lydic asked. \u201cEven a guy taking a **** on the subway will have one New Yorker cheering him on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSir, you can\u2019t sleep through the game!\u201d\u00a0Lydic said. \u201cYou\u2019re the president, not Game 3 referee Marc Davis.\u201d<\/p>\n
