I think
NYC is undefeated
Is nowhere as near a compelling story for a champion team than:
NYC is undefeated (unless trump is there, because he always fucks it up)
Just put 100% of the blame on him, and everytime a Knicks fan brings it up, everyone can shit talk trump.
Like that university that made everyone swear not to forgive a guy for centuries until everyone forgot the reason and kept doing it anyways. Or when a manager trades a major talent and fans curse their name for decades.
It would be funny, but it would piss him off so fucking much for something he wants wrapped up in is associated with the single loss. He didn't go because he liked the Knicks, he went to be associated with winners.
But even winners lose when trump supports them
