    Trump says it is hard to make Lebron look smart. "“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon,” Mr. Trump wrote. “He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.

    One thing to remember is that close to 90% of the GOP are still supporting Trump, even as he doubles down on the racism and the clownish twitter routine.

    Let's hear from CML, Bobbie, Rockets Legend and the gang.

    Bro. Rocketslegend. You have more grammatical mistakes than most. Glass places where people live, throwing hard condensed like matter, type stuff.

    Lebron was born in this country and can't even speak English.

    Trump is just doing what he does best. He does this time & time again. Draws media, publicity & attention towards what he wants. The Ohio election chatter Pre-Lebron twitter comment & now is astounding.

    Now is it the wrong attention? I'm sure liberals will think so. Will attacking Ohio's most popular athlete hurt his parties chances in the election? Apparently he doesn't believe so because what he did was undoubtedly a strategic tactic. We will see, I'm curious.

    The vast majority of his "low iq" "idiot" insults are towards Black people such as Lemon and Maxine Waters.

    Trump needed to mention watermelons, fried chicken, front porch swings and lazy, before he crossed the line?

    So I am guessing all people of color should be off limits?

    If Trump could only lay off the racial stereotypes ... nah ... its Trump we are talking about here. Trump sometimes needs to get his racist on.

    Lol at saying "low IQ" is a racial stereotype.

    Ummm, yeah, that's a somewhat racist opinion.

    It's so obvious that leftists use false accusation of racism to try to silent the right.

    I won’t jump to saying it’s racist, but it’s still being a shitty person to insult someone’s intelligence the week after he announced an amazing education program he helped finance.

    I wish Trump would not have insulted Lebron. Do I think Lebron James is intelligent? Of course not. But I don't think Trump's comment was necessary. I agree with the liberal hoard on that topic. But that doesn't change the fact that I think Trump is doing a great job for America and leading us to a time of increased peace, prosperity and freedom. It's those issues that motivate my voting.

    I do think a large segment of the black community needs to work on their grammar. They have developed this dialect where they mispronounce words and use the wrong verb conjugation regularly. This is a very real impediment when they move outside of their communities and try to do business with other communities (needed for upward mobility). I want what's best for them and for all, and this is something that is holding them back.

    GOOD DAY

    Yes that is a racial stereotype. Right wingers love their "iq bell curve" in terms of race. You know the guys who state they are "racial realists".

    Do you REALLY want to go down this path? Go back and look at Trump’s twitter posts and think long and hard about whether this is the best path.
