Long since before LeBron James got involved in efforts to make sure citizens, particularly Black citizens, are able to exercise their right to vote through his newly-founded non-profit ‘More Than A Vote,’ James has been the target of political attacks, mostly from members of the Republican party. On the eve of the general election in the United States, James was once again the target of attacks from the current President, Donald Trump.
Trump was holding a rally in Pennslyvania on Monday and it was there where he began saying he “felt bad” for LeBron James because the league’s ratings were down during this year’s Finals when it competed against college football and the NFL for the first time in the league’s history. After the concern trolling about the ratings, the Trump supporters in the crowd started a “LeBron James sucks” chant.

The election season has been a busy one for LeBron James and Trump is clearly a little bothered by how much James is trying to use his platform to get him out of the Oval Office.
