Former President Donald Trump asked NBA star LeBron to be a woman in order for women’s basketball to dominate Tuesday.
The ex-president lamented that UPenn’s transgender swimmer Lia Thomas beat out all the female competition at March’s NCAA Women’s Championships. Trump mocked James again when he was asked about biological men participating in women’s sport.
I’d be one of the best women’s basketball coaches in history,” Trump stated. “Because I don’t like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. LeBron James would be the first person I approached. You should be a star in my new team. They will be the best team ever, and they won’t lose. Nobody will fall within 70 points this team .” We have to do something about that. He said it, in reference to fairness in women’s sports. The young lady that I’m referring to is too afraid of talking about it. This is crazy. She has been shunned, and her conversations about it have been canceled. It’s crazy .”
