The former president has a long going one-sided feud with LeBron James since James did not support the Republican party but their opponents the Democrats. Since then he has not let go of any opportunity to ridicule the star. Even during the Save America Rally in Nebraska, the Former President made several attempts to ridicule the NBA star.
Initially, Trump had praised James when he won an NBA title with the Miami heat. However, when James began talking bad about the Former President and supporting their opponent in the 2020 presidential elections Trump kept the feud going.
James has paid no heed whatsoever to the Former President’s words. James feels that Trump’s statements towards him are very trivial and he prefers to give attention to the real social problems that need it. Plus he is trying to work on himself to get over the disappointing 2021-2022 NBA season.
