LeBron James continues to speak out about social and political issues, and on Monday, as the school built by his LeBron James Family Foundation opened, that meant talking again about President Donald Trump, the man he once called a “bum.”
“We are in a position right now in America where this race thing has taken over … because I believe our president is kinda trying to divide us,” James told CNN before the opening of his I Promise School in his Akron, Ohio, hometown. Questioned by CNN’s Don Lemon about the use of a qualifier, James modified his response.
