Petition to replace Betsy DeVos with LeBron James

Jesus Christ, this is your president

Apparently, somebody told him he needed to start tweeting positive economy posts for the sake of the midterms, because he had five of them last night.  OK, they were retweets, but even doing that was more than he could bear, and he simply had to post something nasty.  (Come to think of it, it may not even have been him that put those up.)




UPDATE 8/4:

On Saturday afternoon, Melania Trump also issued a surprising, positive statement about James, but did not reference her husband.

“It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today,” a statement provided by her spokeswoman said. “As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative. Her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron.”

Ouch.

UPDATE:

It's his party, he can invite who he wants

President Trump said on Friday that he won't invite either NBA Finals team to the White House no matter the winner, but noted that other winning teams have visited while sounding hopeful that the Washington Capitals would make the short trip.

"You know my attitude. If they want to be here, it’s the greatest on Earth," he said of teams visiting the White House. "If they don’t want to be here, I don’t want them."

How many blacks are on the NHL Capitals team?

"I didn’t invite [Cavaliers forward] LeBron James and I didn’t invite [Warriors point guard] Steph Curry. We’re not going to invite either team," Trump said.

And why single out those two to be named? Could it be because those two were in the news saying they wouldn't go?

Trump insisted, however, that the White House has "other teams that are coming," naming Alabama's college football team, which visited in April; the New England Patriots, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Clemson University Tigers football team, who visited the White House last year.

"I think we’ll have the Caps," Trump said the morning after the hockey team in the city he now resides in won the Stanley Cup. "I mean, we’ll see."

Again, how many blacks?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

OK, NBA, ball's in your court
