Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James said in
a video posted Thursday that President Trump doesn't "give a (expletive)
about the people." Twitter.
James, who previously referred to Trump as a "bum"
on Twitter, made the comments in a video piece that was shot last
month for UNINTERRUPTED, a multimedia platform that he co-founded.
In the wake of violent protests in Charlottesville,
Va., in August, James referred to Trump as the "so-called president"
and the need to unify as a country without him. One month later,
at Cleveland's media day, he spoke at length about his frustration
with Trump's rhetoric and referred to the president as "that guy."
Then, during a December game in Washington, he wore one white
shoe and one black shoe with the word "Equality" on the heel.
James, who supported Democratic nominee Hillary
Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, has been one of several
prominent NBA figures to denounce Trump over the past year. Steve
Kerr of the Warriors, Gregg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs
and Stan Van Gundy of the Detroit Pistons have been among the
most vocal coaches with their criticism, in addition to several
players.
