President Donald Trump Takes Aim At NBA Superstar LeBron James And CNN's Don Lemon In Tweet | TODAY

Why is the president tweeting and arguing with us citizens instead of running the country

[dextersnell]

Prayers for our Country.... We don't act like we are free.. Bashing one another. . if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

I thought his response tweet was funny. Lebron talked smack and stated his opinion. Thats cool. Then the President responded😂

Why didn't 45 say anything about EMEMINs music video.

Trump what are you doing with China. Both our countries are just going to keep raising taxes on imported goods which ultimately will hurt the people of the United States. You are rich so it's a game you are willing to play.. Think about the people who voted for you at least. You are such a disappointment.

Trump has invited plenty of these high profile athletes to the white house to discuss "Social Injustice" but they always decline his invitations. How can you really make a difference when you're not even willing to talk to the person who can push new laws and help make some real changes.#BlacksForTrump

Y'all should spend less time hating Trump and more time making some goals for yourself it's a great time to be an American I truly hope you find happiness rock on dudes!

[tinaloveseddie]

Wouldn’t you love to see 45 in handcuffs and hauled off to prison!!!😂😂👊👊

[altalt]

I love hearing thst tweet repeated over and over again over all the networks.

[gullybop]

Haaahaa Trump said Lemon who is really dumb made Lebron look smart. Haahahhahahaah!!! That's funny!!

[jemelshahid]

It's sad when your own wife side with ppl insulting you and your daughter call one of your policies a low point ...

[luluchristian]

So you forget LeBron call Trump a name first. I like Mike also

[susanbeckett]

Did Trump mean Michael Jordan, or Magic Mike the stripper, lol😅😂😉

[pierrelouis]

Lebron James has done more than both Trump and Michael Jordan.

[alisonnorthrup]

Lebron you go kid. Trump is just a bully and your not scared of him either. Stand up for what you believe in. We may have some different views but I respect you and I hope you respect me someday. I may not be who you would pick for this job but God did. 💗

BREAKING: Patriotic president puts angry black muslim in his place

[fitnessandmotion]

Sorry LeBron, you're an awesome basketball player, but if you trash someone, don't cry like a baby if someone trash you back, and I don't give A crap who it is.

[Captain_Brown_Beard]

Don just wants a little LeBron man Jam

[homerdrumpf]

King James don't listen to that over baked sweet potato. bonespures is mad thats all

[mathman]

Lebron James has the suit and glasses, but is still extremely inarticulate. How would you like to graduate from a school named after a high school dropout?
