Donald Trump Rips LeBron James: ‘Maybe He’s Racist’

James has openly supported Trump’s opponents in the past, throwing his endorsements behind Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, and Kamala Harris in 2024.

The four-time NBA champ dragged Trump as a “bum” in a September 2017 post on X after the president rescinded the Golden State Warriors’ invitation to the White House after the team won the NBA championship that year.

“Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team. Stephen Curry is hesitating, therefore invitation is withdrawn!” Trump posted.

James quickly responded, writing“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” in a post that garnered more than a million “likes.”

The former Cleveland Cavaliers star also lit into Trump in 2018, saying, “The number one job in America…is someone who doesn’t understand the people, and really don’t give a f— about the people.”

James added, “It’s not even a surprise when he says something. It’s like, laughable. It’s laughable and it’s scary.”
