This week, LeBron James opened a school in his hometown of Akron, reasserting that he's one the greatest living athletes and that rich people can kick in a lot more money to the public good and still be unimaginably rich. As part of the media coverage, CNN's Don Lemon toured the school and then spoke with James in a wide-ranging interview that, almost unavoidably, touched on Donald Trump.

But Trump is like monster you hear about at slumber parties who crawls out of a toilet when you say his name too many times. And he gets his huffiest whenever the people criticizing him are black, and he was likely tired from spending a long night retweeting Sean Hannity and Drudge Report. So rather than doing literally anything else with his time, the president tweeted about an interview with an athlete on a network he claims he never watches.

It's a sick burn when Donald Trump, the man who thinks you need a photo I.D. to buy groceries, says you're one of the dumbest people alive. But despite that, James and Lemon are just making basic, factual statements about him. Trump has been very naked about his attacks on NFL players who protest police brutality, and it's an effective tool to mobilize his base and continue signalling to the white nationalists who make up a large pillar of his supporters. In fact, Trump started bringing up the NFL protests at his campaign rallies shortly after he uninvited Steph Curry to the White House, prompting James to call him a bum.

Speaking of campaign events, shortly after attacking LeBron James, Trump announced on Twitter that he'd be in Ohio this weekend to stump for a Republican congressional candidate. And nothing says "I'm not divisive" like coming for an insanely popular hometown athlete who's using his money to support a community rather putting gold leaf on everything within arm's reach.
