LeBron James tears into Trump: He doesn’t ‘give a f— about the people’

LeBron James laid into President Trump in a new video from Uninterrupted, saying that the president doesn’t “give a f—” about the American people.

In the video, which was filmed in January, ESPN’s Cari Champion interviews James and Kevin Durant while driving the NBA stars in an Uber.

“The number one job in America, the … person is someone who doesn’t understand the people, and really don’t give a f— about the people,” James said of Trump.

Champion raised the issue of what she called Trump’s “racist comments.” The interview was conducted near the time last month Trump was under fire for referring to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries.”

He added that he wants to use his platform as an athlete to set an example for what is acceptable.

“While we cannot change what comes out of that man’s mouth, we can continue to alert the people that watch us, that listen to us that this is not the way,” he said.

Durant also weighed in on Trump, saying that he feels like “our team, as a country, is not [run] by a great coach.”

James has sharply criticized Trump in the past, calling him a “bum” after Trump attacked the Golden State Warriors’s Steph Curry for saying he would not accept an invitation to the White House.

U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

He also said earlier this year that Trump has given racism “an opportunity to be out.”

“The guy in control has given people and racism, and negative racism, an opportunity to be out, and outspoken without fear,” he said. “And that’s the fearful thing for us, because it’s with you, and it’s around every day, but he’s allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things.”
