Donald Trump’s animosity with the NBA is the world’s worst-kept secret at this point. POTUS has been very outspoken against the league and the stance their players have taken when it comes to social justice matters. This year, that has taken a different dimension after the league and players started asking for substantial changes in American regarding racism and police brutality.
Trump has expressed his opinion on this matter over and over but he can’t stop. He has created some sort of rivalry with LeBron James and recently, he went off on the King for being a ‘spokesman for the Democratic party.’ During an appearance on “The Rush Limbaugh Show” on Friday, Trump claimed the NBA’s low ratings came after the league decided to support the ‘Black Lives Matter’ movement.
“The NBA has become so political that nobody cares about it anymore,” Trump said, via TMZ.
“I don’t even know who’s playing in the Finals.”
After that, he focused his attention on LeBron, making it very clear that he doesn’t like the King.
“LeBron is a spokesman for the democratic party and a very nasty spokesman,” Trump said.
“Because, again, I’ve done so much for the Black community and people don’t wanna see that and he’s a great basketball player but people don’t wanna see a guy that way. They don’t want to see that. We have enough difficulty during the week, you don’t wanna sit down watching a basketball game and then watch somebody that hates your guts, okay, He’s a hater.”
There isn’t any love between these parties. Bron has been very outspoken against Trump and vice versa. They don’t have and probably won’t have any type of relationship while they both are the faces of the US government and the NBA.
