'He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do' - Donald Trump takes aim at LeBron James

August 4, 2018

US President Donald Trump has targeted NBA superstar LeBron James in a social media outburst.

President Trump appeared to be continuing his war of words with CNN, as James sat down with anchor Don Lemon.

"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon," President Trump wrote.

"He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!"

James has been an often outspoken critic of President Trump, famously labelling him a 'bum' after another Twitter exchange with Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry.
