Trump shoots at LeBron

Share:

"(Is) he's kinda used sports to kinda divide us, and that's something that I can't relate to".

This is not the first time James has been thrust into the political limelight for speaking out against Trump.

"U bum", James said in the now-famous tweet.

"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon". In June this year, before the National Basketball Association finals between Cavaliers and Warriors, James said that neither team wants an invitation to the White House. Laker fans who spoke with Eyewitness News also felt the same way, often mentioning the school James opened and how he's impacted those kids' lives. When Lemon asked James what he would say to Trump if he ever had the chance to sit across from him, James replied, "I would never sit across from him".

Trump has repeatedly been questioned about his views on race, from deeming many Mexican immigrants "rapists" during his campaign kickoff speech for the Republican presidential nomination to placing blame on "both sides" for the violent clash between white supremacists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, a year ago. The school opened with a group of third- and fourth-graders, but will expand to serve first through eighth grades by 2022.

CNN's public relations arm also responded to president's tweet on Saturday.

Virat Kohli rates Edgbaston knock second to Adelaide 2014
Pacer Mohammed Shami, who started the proceedings along with Ashwin, got Curran (24) caught behind by wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik. Root was looking set to get a big one but a brilliant piece of fielding from Kohli saw the right-hander getting run-out for 80.

"Who's the real dummy?", the CNN anchor tweeted Saturday.

- LeBron James (@KingJames) July 29, 2018big dreams for the kids in Akron to give them everything they could need to find their passion, give back to our community and change the world!

"So let me get this straight: Flint, MI has dirty water still, but you anxious about an interview about a man doing good for education and generations of kids in his hometown?"

Though, it appeared, at least at one point, that Trump was a big fan of King James. It may be a reference to Michael Jordan, the NBA Hall-of-Famer whose legacy James is endlessly compared with.

- Jemele Hill (@jemelehill) August 4, 2018LeBron is a smart dude (and one of the most thoughtful athletes we have) - this is a bullshit tweet and feels more than a little racist. I know why. Some of y'all need to start believing what he is showing you.
