If it is late Friday or early Saturday, it means that President Donald Trump is busy tweeting up a storm and insulting a group of famous people in the country.
This time around, Trump took aim at NBA star LeBron James and CNN host Don Lemon by calling both men dumb.
In one tweet, the Republican politician wrote: “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”
Not many people expect former basketball star and businessmen mogul Michael Jordan to respond.
Trump went after James, who recently sat down with Lemon and said the former reality TV star turned leader of the free world, is using sports to divide the country.

James, who recently opened the I Promise School in his hometown of Akron in Ohio, shared: “…he is using sports to kinda divide us, and that’s something that I can’t relate to.”
He added: “Sports has never been something that divides people. It’s always been something that brings someone together,” he said.
James was asked if he would have a face-to-face with Trump, and he said: “I would never sit across from him.”
Trump and James have clashed on social media several times over the NBA and NFL players kneeling during the national anthem in protest of racism and police brutality in America.
Interestingly, Trump did not always dislike James. Below are some of his old tweets about the NBA superstar.
