Donald Trump went after NBA star Lebron James on Friday night after James did an interview with CNN's Don Lemon.

In an interview that aired last Monday, James and Lemon discussed James' recent opening of a school for underprivileged children and politics.

After Trump criticized Lemon's and James' intelligence, Lemon, CNN, and other NBA players took to Twitter to defend James.

Twitter lit up with criticism against President Donald Trump after he took aim at NBA star Lebron James on Friday night.

In an interview that aired on CNN last Monday, James and CNN host Don Lemon discussed politics and James' recent opening of a school for underprivileged children.

James, who has been critical of Trump in the past, said during the interview that Trump was using sports to sow divisions in the US.

"He's dividing us," James said. "What I noticed over the last few months that he's kind of used sport to kind of divide us, and that's something that I can't relate to. Because I know that sport was the first time I ever was around someone white."

Trump hit back at James and Lemon, calling the latter "the dumbest man on television." He added that Lemon "made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do."

"How You Help Trump Without knowing it, many Democrats, progressives and members of the news media help Donald Trump every day. The way they help him is simple: they spread his message.

Think about it: every time Trump issues a mean tweet or utters a shocking statement, millions of people begin to obsess over his words. Reporters make it the top headline. Cable TV panels talk about it for hours. Horrified Democrats and progressives share the stories online, making sure to repeat the nastiest statements in order to refute them. While this response is understandable, it works in favor of Trump.

When you repeat Trump, you help Trump. You do this by spreading his message wide and far."

So..I say, ignore the son of a @$$#!! Yet, we keep on feeding the monster! Porque?

6. Thanks! Nothing to fret about-- it's fine; responding to last sentence of post....

here ..."The dotard is too easy to bait." According to Lackoff trump is the "master" and after 2yrs of his chicanery, we haven't learned a damn thing..for days he's controlled the narrative...we jump into the rabbit hole, every single time..he's insulted actors, singers, politicians, athletes, immigrants, disabled, women, non white, nonchristian, lgbt community whose next? Whose left?

Perhaps we should just ignore the dumbass.

7. I've been saying that for three years but

most don't get it. The thing 45 would hate the most and the tactic that would be the most effective for us overall... is to ignore him.

3. He attacked Maxine Waters' intelligence as well. We know what he means. I'm just shocked that...

anyone is still surprised at anything that comes out of this orange asshole's mouth. I'm just too exhausted to be outraged anymore.

4. Trump's tell

It seems like Trump goes after a prominent black person in a really nasty way when he thinks he may be cornered in this investigation.

Don Lemon nailed it: "Who’s the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages? #BeBest https://t.co/XO50qVksnR — Don Lemon (@donlemon) August 4, 2018
