Donald Trump dropped the "F-bomb" on Friday's interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh. But, aside from discussing politics, he, once again, slammed LeBron James, a moment that has since made the headlines.
The U.S. President described the NBA star as a "hater" hours before the latter's team plays for Game 5 of the finals. He, also, called him "nasty" as he tore into the athlete for his "delving into politics," according to the Daily Mail.
He seemingly echoed his previous comments about LeBron and the sports league. Trump said that the NBA has become so political, adding that "nobody cares" anymore.
Donald Trump claimed that LeBron James is a "nasty spokesman" for the Democrats. He, however, clarified that he has never met him yet.
The American leader, then, continued to tackle his issues on the Black Lives Matter movement, which he called a "Marxist organization." He said that the name is "terrible" for the blacks, adding that the term is "racist." He explained that it sows division between black and white people, along with other races, according to TMZ.
The U.S. President noted that he has done "so much" for the Black community. But, he claimed that his critics do not want to see it. He, consequently, related it to the basketball player, stating that he is a "hater."
Reports recalled that LeBron James is not a fan of Donald Trump. He has been in a continued feud with the U.S. President since 2018, when the latter called him out on social media.
While Trump only responded to the NBA star's quips two years ago, the public is aware of James' opposition since he sided with Hillary Clinton, the U.S. President's rival in 2016. He, also, poked fun at this dynamic during that Rush Limbaugh on Friday.
Trump said that Clinton failed to measure up to LeBron's height, saying that she was not the "best-looking president" he has ever seen. Nevertheless, he referred to it as the "greatest endorsement."
Essentially Sports previously reported that Donald Trump used to praise LeBron James on social media. He made a few posts on Twitter, congratulating and touting the basketball player's skills way back in 2015 and 2013.
But, things changed a year after his inauguration when James sat down for an interview with CNN's Don Lemon. He called out the two personalities on social media, calling Lemon the "dumbest man on television" and implied that James is not smart.
He, also, quipped that "he likes Mike." Reports said that the statement was a reference to the "age-old" debate about whether LeBron James or Michael Jordan is the better player.
