LeBron James is 'a hater', BLM is a ‘bad term’ and Iran shouldn't ‘f**k around’: Trump cuts loose in interview

‘LeBron is a spokesman for the Democratic party and a very nasty spokesman,’ Trump said. ‘I don't know him, I never met him’

President Donald Trump targeted Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James while he was a guest on Rush Limbaugh's show. In the extended interview with the conservative radio host, the 74-year-old called him a "hater" for supporting the Democrats and the Black Lives Matter movement. Calling him "nasty," Trump also said that Black Lives Matter is "a very bad term for Blacks."

Attacking the basketball player, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, the president said, "The NBA has become so political that nobody cares about it anymore," after his previous comment on how he won't watch any games once the NBA season resumed because players were peacefully protesting during the National Anthem.

"LeBron is a spokesman for the Democratic party and a very nasty spokesman," Trump said. "I don't know him, I never met him. Because, again, I've done so much for the Black community and people don't wanna see that and he's a great basketball player but people don't wanna see a guy that way. They don't want to see that. We have enough difficulty during the week, you don't wanna sit down watching a basketball game and then watch somebody that hates your guts, okay. And he's a hater."

Calling the Black Lives Matter a "Marxist" organization, he said, "And now I understand — don't forget, Black Lives Matter, what was Black Lives Matter? Pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon. The first time I ever heard of Black Lives Matter, I said that's such a terrible term because it's such a racist term. It's a term that sows division between Blacks and Whites and everybody else. And it's a very bad term, for Blacks. But they were very angry. It's a Marxist organization." 

No sooner did his comments surface on social media, many laughed at how Trump was annoyed with LeBron James. "Funny that trumps gets annoyed by LeBron. At least he does better at his job than what he’s supposed to do," one tweet read and another said, "I am unwilling to accept that Trump's misbehavior is fine just because he's the president. The refs need to call it when LeBron travels and commits a foul." A third chimed in, "Donald Trump called Lebron James a very nasty spokesperson for the Democratic Party and also called him a hater. Lmfao Trump is mad Lebron has done more for the communities than him and that he’s richer."

In the same two-hour talkfest, he also dropped an F-bomb while ripping Iran and said he was no longer taking any medication, as per Daily Mail. "If you f**k around with us, if you do something bad to us, we are going to do things to you that have never been done before," Trump blatantly said in a conversation about Iran.

While it was edited out later, the official transcriptof Trump and Limbaugh's back-and-forth includes the president's full comments. This is not the first time he said the F-word in public. In March, right before his Oval Office speech on the coming coronavirus outbreak, Trump was heard saying, "Oh f**k!" 

People on the Internet couldn't stop mocking the entire fiasco once his comments surfaced on social media. "Trump thinks dropping an F-bomb makes him look strong, and will cause everyone (to) forget that he's sick and weak. Not a chance. It just makes him look desperate," one tweet read and another said, "Trump dropped an F-Bomb and now the left is acting like they're incredibly virtuous. Apparently, they've never said it in their lives."

Not just Trump, Biden too was caught whispering the F-word in Barack Obama's ears over hot mic: "This is a big f**king deal," he said during the Obamacare signing ceremony at the White House in March 2010.
