The White House removed a social media post featuring the New York Knicks logo that appeared to mock New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani after the NBA team reached out to President Trump’s administration.
The altered logo was posted on official White House social media channels Tuesday night, declaring “Trump is your President.” The Knicks then reached out to the White House, which voluntarily removed the logo, according to a source close to the team.
The source said the franchise will always protect its intellectual property and stay apolitical.
“The Knicks remain neutral on political matters,” a team spokesperson said. “We hope all our elected officials, whether current or recently elected, do a great job in office.”
