- LeBron James defended calling Trump a bum on twitter after the president announced that the Golden State Warriors would not be invited to the White House. Following is a transcript of the video.
Reporter: Is there any regret that you got into a name-calling situation with the president?
LeBron James: No. Name calling? What did I say? Let me hear you say it.
Reporter: You called him a bum.
James: That's not a name-call. "You bum." Me and my friends call each other that all the time. I'm not his friend, though. I don't want to see that on a note. He's not my friend. No, no, that was the first thing that when I woke up and saw what he said about Steph Curry.
First of all, it's so funny because it's like you invite me to your party, right? Matter of fact it's not like you invited me, it's almost like, you know, "Tom, hey, I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm not coming." And then he be like, “Hey LeBron guess what? You're not invited." I wasn't coming anyways.
So that was funny to me when I woke up and saw that. So, and my first initial response was you bum. First of all, you don't understand the magnitude. He doesn't understand the power that he has for being the leader of this beautiful country. He doesn't understand how many kids, no matter the race, look up to the president for the United States for guidance, leadership, for words of encouragement. He doesn't understand that.
That's what makes me more sick than anything, that we have someone, this is the number one position in the world. You guys agree? Being the president of the United States is the most powerful position in the world. I don't know of another one. If you find one let me know. It's the most powerful position in the world, and we're at a time where the most powerful position in the world has an opportunity to bring us closer together as a people and inspire the youth and put the youth at ease, saying that it's okay for me to walk down the street and not be judged because the color of my skin or because of my race. And he has no recollection of that. And he doesn't even care. Maybe he does. But he doesn't care. So, do I take away … take away "you bum" off my, no, because if I did I would've deleted my tweet.

Yes my g
You a bum, take that to the heart. Lmk when u are wealthy and kinfolk accept u
Shaq, Ice cube, Diddy and other prominent Black men LIKE Trump, it's just POLITICS with LeBron EVERYONE is allowed to have an opinion
You need to do more research

I bet you hold Trumps nuts for him. It’s ok you we understand.
and why would he or anyone, shows your character...
Perfectly said with CLASS. KEEP IT UP. GOOD JOB.
Wow! Isn't Lebron great he called the president a bum!? Such talent.
what about when Lebron says tweets supporting HK were misinformed? As good as he is at Basketball he'll play puppet to the CCP
He's a hypocrite what do you expect
LeChina is an uneducated coward puppet.
So like that they call each other ''Bums'' all the time. NBA has bums now?
I know he said that's the first thing that came to his head, and then said that's what he calls his friends on the team, he has no clue about the real world anymore. Sold his soul I'm afraid
Thank You - Sir.
No lies spoken

Why would he cry about Biden?

Not a James fan but like him more now because what he said is true. He’s a bum respect ✊
I'm not a on team Trump but ask yourself why are these guys telling us who's team we should be in and we're listening. I didnt like trump or Hillary but my thought is who ever wins we should put our differences aside and be united to move forward as a country. the media is desperately trying to turn us against each other. You can literally translate all mass media messages to one word "hate, hate, hate, hate, hate".. God comes first brother let him guide us.
You're both misunderstanding the way he means 'bum'
Steven Stanford thanks for explaining
You must be liberal snowflake
respect for his athletic abilities but no respect for talking out his anus about politics-he's clueless.True fact Case closed
And this is the main reason I don't watch the NBA anymore.
Why
Let's go Brandon!
Lets go Brandon
Just stop. Biden is your typical Dem. Bush was your typical Repub. Obama was your typical Dem. Reagan was a your typical Repub. Trump was a monster that used the position of POTUS to inflate his ego. This goes beyond right/left (and this is coming from someone who's not a big fan of Biden myself)
@@dmvsportszone99 Gas prices were low, unemployment was low, food prices were low, your IQ is low. Trump was closer to Reagan than Bush. Bush was a neo con who's family were involved with the military industries and oil industries. Obama ruined this country and took away God and Biden is part 2. I don't care about Trump personally but his policies didn't inflate the currency. Americans were richer and more independent than they have been my whole life. Then covid hit which was planned by the Obama administration they gave that wuhan lab millions to create it.
Lets Go Fanny Willis!
LeBron is the only bum in the story
Trump is in this fools head
Would love to c lebum run the country we wouldn't last more than a year
What has he done to divide people by race lebron?
Nothing,this dude is what I call “typical “
Not to pick on LeBron specifically (he's not the only one who makes the mistake) but while the President of the United States is a powerful position globally, it's by no means just sitting there at the top uncontested. The Pope happens to have over 1 billion followers embedded globally, and runs an organization (religion) that is completely free of the need to pay any taxes, declare any revenues, or provide any real measure of just how immense the amount of wealth at their disposal is... Make no mistake, if the Catholic Church decides something needs doing, they absolutely have more than enough resources and manpower to make it happen.
Wow,
Only took 2 min 9 seconds to bring up race.
I can't believe it took that long
You’re pathetic
Sorry bro. Trump lost.
It doesn't matter how you feel about LeBrons political view he is looking at Trump as a person and I would be surprised if most people would want their children to grow up and act like he does
whats you opinion now' Biden is a better example?
@@luisbarbosa8136 How?
@@joegalloway9011 how is Biden doing so far ? lol
you lefties are a joke, and its coming to you from an African
Hypocrite. What is he showing the youth by calling the president a bum?
He isn't the President. 😏
So glad I stopped wasting my time watching professional sports, especially basketball. So amusing that anyone would care what a low IQ athlete would think.
That’s a little disrespectful. It’s not like he should’ve went to college. Him and his mother were living on food stamps. He had to skip College and go straight to the NBA
@@bobjeff6899 come on bro make sense! living on food stamps and driving H2 Hummer to a private high school? The boy was catered to. He was bought and paid for! Shut yo stupid arse up! He had to skip college? wow. It is very evident he should've at least done a semester. You can barely make collective sense out of that searching for my drool he just spat on camera. That is the real embarrassment here. What grown man expects a president to be his daddy? A no daddy having man-baby. Now if poverty was the problem, why is he here moaning?
RyMuEntertainment Bruh, he got a 90 million dollar contract after high school. That Hummer was a gift to his mom. Stop denying he grew up on food stamps, that’s a fact, there are records. You’re the one who’s lying.
Low IQ? Damn your love for trump really blinds you from what he's doing. Did you see obama on twitter calling people dumb and stupid?
@@RyMuEntertainment more Caucasians are on government assistance then anyone . So calm down. Your right. Why would anyone look up to a president that had to get his daddy's help to dodge the draft . The coward preaches about how he loves this country but serving it wasn't something he was willing to do. You can assume as if you know LeBron's life but your president is a coward and that's a fact. I'm surprised it's not a video of him blowing Putin yet.

I'd prefer to hear a speech prepared by Lebron over Trump in a second. I wonder if people, who criticize the speaking ability of others, do the same with Trump.
the president that you called a bum gave your brothers jobs...obama gave them food stamps
Let's not make a false equivalence here with someone reacting thoughtlessly, spitefully and rashly, indulging in an orgy of name-calling and character assassination.
Don't pay Trump any attention he loves the excitement and he still loves to be in the spot light.
Wokeism is not about bringing people together. It’s the opposite.
Who’s here after Trump lost the election?!
Not me.
@That Fan70 nope
I mean nope to Adrian
Calling Trump a BUM is huge insult......
To BUMS.
He is just right...nothing more to add
America's social status is a "bum".
And in THIS corner, Lebron GED James!
This is why football and basketball are dying. Use to love Basketball, haven't watched a game since early 90ties. Football, which I loved to watched', zero games last year. . I am so tired of all the changes and politial crab. The ads have killed most sports, just no longer worth the time . My choice alone for these decisions and with a 20 percent drop in FB last year these players should think hard before they continue on this course.. Good luck to all .....
Lebum didnt say anything about the pitiful job Obama did
Exactly
Cuz he’s racist.
& George bush
Trump did worse lol. So what’s the point in comparing 😂
LeBron, is in the know. Like, Ali. He is speaking on important issues.
Lebron is part of the herd of Sheep just doing what the DemoRats want him to do fo Money !

He was talking about obama, LMFAO!
Not e he was talking about yo mama
But you love your "uncle Diddy?" Had no idea what he was doing?
Its a shame he is not a better role model. As a man of color I see how my young brother's look up to him. He is wrong this President has done more for us than Obama. Teaching them that they don't have to be victims but to be successful by using the power of positive thinking is what he needs to be doing
I am Hispanic and Obama did more for my community than poopy pants Trump
He doesn't defend himself here
So tell us James...black people can say what they want about whites but if whites say anything its ractisum
They say alot
I never seen a bum be so successful. I need to try it. Lol

Wym
That is one weird dude, no common sense at all
And I'm sure all the kids really looked up to Obama which LeBron didn't have s*** to say about that because Obama is a bro
Obama at least didn't disrespect others in public
Wake up man its not a race thing its that Obama has class and respect. Something Trump knows nothing about.
was it obama or trump that said "grab them by the pussy" i forget

Obama never openly complained. Donald has. #NoExcuses
Just because you don't like Donald as a person you can't deny he has only done great things for job opportunities and our economy. He just reached his 4.1% GDP. When he said he could get 4.0% GPD increase economist laughed at him. He may say lots of stupid shit but overall he is one of the most productive modern presidents in his short time in the office thus far.
Dakota Nielsen As A Person Can't Respect Him As A Man I Definitely Don't Respect Him . Regardless Of What He Does NO RESPECT PERIOD
