Donald Trump‘s videos feasting on pizza and fries at the NBA Finals revealed his true “New Yorker” inside. The president was filmed inside a Madison Square Garden suite with fries in hand. He later folded a pizza slice, New York style, during Game 3. The Knicks were playing the San Antonio Spurs that night. The clips spread after his visit had already drawn boos, security delays, and celebrity attention. For online viewers, the dinner routine became its own sideshow.
Donald Trump eats his pizza folded during NBA finals
As per the BBC, Trump made NBA Finals history. He became the first sitting US president to attend the event. The outlet said he watched the Knicks face the San Antonio Spurs at Madison Square Garden. It also named Kai Trump, James Dolan, Sean Duffy, Doug Burgum, Lee Zeldin, and Steve Witkoff among attendees.
In the X clip, the former New York businessman stood in a suite with guests nearby. Sean Duffy can be seen drinking from a cup in the booth. The first clip showed Trump folding a slice before taking a bite while talking to the associates. Then another video showed him holding a small tray, lifting one fry to his mouth, and feasting on it one by one. The user captioned one post, “Trump enjoys some fries at the game.” In another, he wrote, “Trump eats his pizza folded, New York style.”
However, Trump’s pizza moment split viewers more gently than his arena arrival. One X user joked, “OMG He eats like a three year old.” Another wrote, “Politics aside, folded pizza just tastes better somehow always.” A third added, “Finally, something New Yorkers and Trump can agree on.” Meanwhile, the BBC reported that boos broke out when he appeared during the national anthem.
The food clips also landed during a tense Game 3 night. The BBC reported that Trump’s appearance brought major security restrictions around Madison Square Garden. Some ticketholders waited in long lines, while nearby watch-party plans were affected. Still, the game brought a packed guest list, including New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Trump had been at his New Jersey golf club earlier. Then, he reached Manhattan by helicopter and motorcade. By the end, the fries and folded slice gave social media a lighter, side-angle view.
