‘MAYBE HE’S A ‌RACIST’: DONALD TRUMP TAKES BIZARRE SWIPE AT NBA GREAT LEBRON JAMES

At a Friday White House press briefing, former President Donald Trump claimed that NBA star LeBron James might be "a racist" after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked him to pick the better of LeBron and Michael Jordan.

Trump answered that LeBron, who is reportedly studying to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers, could be "a racist" and briefly referenced the Balogun red‑card review, saying it had "worked out great." The remarks followed a broader pattern of Trump’s unstructured comments during the briefing.

The statement reflects Trump’s continued tendency to make controversial, often unsubstantiated remarks on public figures and race, a behavior that has attracted widespread scrutiny since his 2024 campaign.
