‘If LeBron James decided to get the s*x change operation, how would he be’: Donald Trump makes ridiculous joke regarding Lakers star and transgender athletes

LeBron James

LeBron James and former president Donald Trump don’t exactly get along, and that continued when Trump made some controversial ‘jokes.’

Trump and LeBron have never really seen eye to eye for various reasons. In 2018, Trump questioned LeBron’s intetellijence. Trump would say in a Tweet blasting LeBron: “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.”

LeBron simply scoffed at the comments, “That’s like somebody saying I can’t play ball. That doesn’t bother me at all. What bothers me is that he has time to even do that. He has the most powerful job in the world. Like, you really got this much time that you can comment on me?”

Now, it looks like Trump is back with more questionable comments about the Lakers star, making some very controversial comments as he’s known for doing.

Donald Trump Takes Offense To Transgender Athletes, Questions How LeBron James Would Be Playing Women’s Basketball

Ye, that’s right. Trump very clearly expressed his distaste for transgender athletes while seemingly making a ‘joke’ about how LeBron would be viewed if he decided to switch genders.

Why was there any need to bring LeBron into this? No idea. Was the ‘joke’ about transgender athletes funny? Not really.

Trump continues to find ways to propagate his conservative idelogies and his stance with recruiting transgender athletes shows this clearly. It’s something LeBron has taken issue with in the past too.

Trump has previously blasted NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other NFL athletes for kneeling during the national anthem and even disinvited Steph Curry from the White House.

This along with his ignornat stance on police brutality in the US has led the King to even question how valid Trump’s presidency really is.
