Overview
- The official White House account on X posted a modified Knicks emblem reading “Trump Is Your President” hours after Zohran Mamdani was projected mayor-elect.
- By Wednesday, the post was removed after the Knicks contacted the White House, according to a source close to the team.
- “The Knicks remain neutral on political matters,” the team said in a statement, adding that they hope elected officials do a great job in office.
- The White House did not answer questions about the post and sent an automated reply citing “staff shortages resulting from the Democrat Shutdown.”
- Two weeks earlier, the Knicks sent Mamdani’s campaign a cease-and-desist over an ad using a Knicks-style logo, which the campaign took down, a dispute rooted in trademark rules under the Lanham Act.
