In an attempt to throw shots at transgender athletes, Donald Trump dragged LeBron James into his nonsense, calling for the Lakers star to play basketball as a woman.
The total jab at the Cleveland native came when Trump described his perfect women’s basketball team during a recent speech at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.
“I don’t like LeBron James – I like Michael Jordan much better. But I’d go up to LeBron James … [and] I’d say, ‘LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman?’ Because what I’d love you to do is star on my team that I’m building,” Trump added.
His argument by mentioning LeBron James and a hypothetical women’s basketball team circled the debate of allowing transgender women to compete against women in sports. And he hinted that he is seeking to end the option, mocking transgender athletes.
Trump has spoken out before, wanting to ban transgender women from competing in sports.
“We have to change that, and we have to make it OK to talk about it,” Trump added. The NBA star has yet to comment on Trump’s insane requests.
The two have never seen eye to eye, as James accused Trump of using sports to divide people and remaining supercritical during his time in office. While Trump has alluded that James got a sex reassignment surgery and called the athlete racist before.
