Earlier this week NBA superstar Lebron James sat down for a candid interview with CNN’s Don Lemon.
James talked about everything from sports to politics.
In one part of the interview Lemon asked James what would he say to the president if he was sitting across from him.
James said he would never sit across from Trump but he would sit across from Barack Obama.
Friday night Trump took aim at James and Lemon on Twitter.
He tweeted: “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.”
He ended his tweet with “I like Mike!,” possibly a reference to the ongoing debate over who is the greatest NBA player of all time, James or Michael Jordan.
First Lady Melania Trump does not appear to be letting the president’s statement about James affect her own feelings on the matter.
She praised James for his charity work and says it looks like he’s working to do good things on behalf of our next generation.
