Donald Trump Takes Final Shot At NBA & LeBron, Gets Excited Over ‘LeBron James Sucks’ Chants From Crowd
It’s Election Day!
President Donald Trump has been at war with the NBA over the player protests during the National Anthem, and repeatedly blasted the league over its bad ratings, while saying it has become a “political organization”.
But even before that, the majority of NBA players have been outspoken critics of Trump, among them, reigning Finals MVP LeBron James, with whom he’s been feuding with ever since stepping into politics.
During his final pre-election rally in Pennsylvania, Trump again took shots at the NBA, talking about the low viewership of the NBA Finals, to which the crowd reacted with boos, followed by a “LeBron James Sucks” chant, much to the excitement of Trump:
“How about basketball? How about Lebron? I felt badly for LeBron. I felt very badly. Down 71% and that’s for their championship — I didn’t want watch one shot. I get bored. Back forth, back forth…
When they don’t respect our country, when they don’t respect our flag, nobody wants to watch. Nobody!”
“What a crowd!”
Trump’s closing message today is that “Lebron James sucks.” Can’t wait to get rid of this chump and for Lebron to dunk on this fools head! pic.twitter.com/X8eiqqYPHD
