President Trump labeled CNN's Dom Lemon as the 'dumbest man on television' after his interview with LeBron James in a bizarre tweet that ended, 'I like Mike!'
'Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!' Trump posted on Friday evening.
The Commander-in-chief was referring to an interview on Monday in which the NBAlegend opened up to Lemon about how he felt Trump had used sport to exacerbate US racial tensions.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star has repeatedly clashed with the President, and on Monday said he would refuse to ever sit face to face with him.
James is considered by many to be the greatest player in basketball history, rivaled by Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan.

That suggests Trump was referring to Jordan at the end of his tweet. In a 1990s Gatorade commercial, the start used the slogan 'Be like Mike'.
On Monday, James spoke at lengths about the President, race and politics in a wide-ranging interview which aired just hours after opening his new I Promise School in Akron, Ohio.

The Cleveland Cavaliers star has repeatedly clashed with the President (pictured leaving Air Force One for a rally in Pennsylvania on Thursday)

The 33-year-old described how both athletics and education were high priorities for the young students at his new school when he mentioned the current climate in the US.
'When you're part of sports, it brings so much camaraderie and so much fun. We are in a position right now, in America more importantly, where this whole race thing has taken over,' he said.
'I believe our president is trying to divide us... he is, he's dividing us and what I have noticed over the last few months is that he's kind of used sport to divide.'
James said Trump is creating a wedge by using situations like NFL player Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the anthem and 'uninviting' NBA star Steph Curry to the White House.
He also said he might consider running for office if someone said to him he was the only person and that Trump would win if he didn't step up.

Lebron has been running his mouth bashing trump for a long time so I dont blame trump for putting lebron in his place. He should shut the fuck up and worry about trying to win a championship. Jordan hands down is the better player.

Less talk about people that play ball, more talk about the wall.

See what I did there?

Agree. Not good to be calling two black civilians who are at the tops of their professions dumb even if they are. Gotta steer clear of that stuff Donald. Looks and smells matter to the shallow brained. Yes more than policy, unfortunately.

and now Dan Rather says Trump racist for calling Don or Lebron dumb. So anytime you say something negative about a black person, it's racist? Please. A black person can dislike Trump and it's ok, but when a white person dislikes Obama, yup out comes the race card.

Trump could have said Lebron is the GOAT and Lemon is the next coming
of Walter Cronkite and before they realized what he said they both would
called him a liar.

That's just the way it is and it will never change much like peace in the ME.

The race card doesn't have the same impact it once did.
