On Monday, Lebron James did an interview with CNN's Don Lemon. During the chat he said this about Donald Trump:
"What I've noticed over the past few months," James shared with Lemon during a sit-down interview on Monday. "[Trump] is kinda used sports to kinda divide us, and that's something that I can't relate to."
James's comments triggered two of Trump's most notorious characteristics: his rabbit ears and Twitter fingers.
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!

James has a near photographic memory and is generally considered a pretty smart guy. Twitter has weighed in on the dust up, and most have rushed to James's defense.
A sign of an insecure human being is one who attacks others to make themselves feel better... im just sad that young kids have to see stupid tweets like these and grow up thinking it’s okay... forget everything else Donald your setting a bad example for kids😑 our future 🤡 https://t.co/eg0MECg8xC

So let me get this straight: Flint, MI has dirty water still, but you worried about an interview about a man doing good for education and generations of kids in his hometown? Shut your damn mouth! Stop using them twitter fingers and get stuff done for our country with that pen. https://t.co/sEkX3OKaJM

It should be beneath the dignity of a sitting POTUS to take racist shots at D. Lemon and Lebron James. While only uttering kind words for ruthless dictators, Putin, Kim and Duterte. President Trump, we cape up for ours , “BELIEVE THAT” #KinOrSkinWeRide

Donald Trump is a terrible person who was born on third base but thinks he hit a triple.

LeBron James is a self-made legend and an even better human being.
Of course the President is jealous of the King.
Not so long ago, LeBron James called @realDonaldTrump a “bum” & has repeatedly maligned Trump. Rhetoric goes both ways. If LeBron doesn’t want the President to “divide,” perhaps stop using divisive rhetoric to attack him in interviews and Twitter.

Coastal elites may see LeBron James as an iconic sports hero and admirable philanthropist but Trump knows the next House election is in [checks notes] Ohio where things are different.
