AOC Wins Game 3 For Calling Foul On Trump Nodding Off Again At NBA Finals

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) led the fast break in mocking President Donald Trump for apparently napping again ― this time during one of the most exciting sporting events to hit New York City in a while.

The MeidasTouch Network and others circulated clips of Trump balling with the sandman during Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the hometown Knicks and San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden on Monday.

A yell by Knicks owner James Dolan appeared to rouse him at least temporarily.

“WAKE TF UP,” wrote Ocasio-Cortez, a reliable nemesis of the president who brought her trolling A game.

Others called out the heavily booed Trump for prompting inconvenient crowd-control measures just by attending ― and then appearing to catch some z’s like it was a Cabinet meeting or something. (He missed part of a game that came down to the final seconds before the Knicks lost.)

He’s been caught getting extended shut-eye, or “blinking” as his staff likes to frame it, on multiple occasions while questions about his age swirl.

But doing it amid 20,000 or so screaming fans while being fully aware that cameras are on him?

Yeah, “The Nodfather” got posterized.

A squad of responders to AOC’s social media dagger were happy to do it:

Shut down half of New York, got the whole building booed, and then fell asleep. The most expensive nap in American history. 😭 pic.twitter.com/dBzHgMr1JW

Does Trump have any real supporters on here because anytime he gets called out for his buffoonery I get inundated with bots defending him.

Was it really fucking worth it?
Why did he even have to be there?
So he could take a nap?
What an insult to basketball fans.
Keep this rubbish out of our sports.
