WASHINGTON, United States (AFP) — United States (US) President Donald Trump lashed out at NBA superstar LeBron James on Thursday for what he called disrespectful behaviour during the playing of the national anthem.
Trump posted a video of the basketball legend doing apparent warm-up movements while lined up with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates.
“While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social network.
