Interesting that Famous Mortimer and Beet are missing from this thread.
Oh ... my apology ... they are still choking-their-chicken and salivating back in the Sarah Jeong/NYT thread.

There are many good reasons why nonwhite voters hate Trump.

And, there are many good reasons why white voters hate (or at least should hate) trump.

He regularly mocks ANYONE who attacks him, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender.  This isn't how I'd go about being President, but let's be real about context here. 

Lebron James relentlessly attacks Trump.  He's getting the pushback Trump gives everyone who opposes him.  Part of equality means that when you step into political arenas, you take on flak just like a white male would.  Truthfully, I can't think of an example of someone who Trump has flamed in a Tweet that was someone who was sincerely offering some kind of olive branch.  He flames his enemies; people who wish him ill.  A moral argument can be made that Trump should be "bigger" than this.  A practical argument is that the political graveyard is full of "bigger" folks.  Trump's about "winning".  This sort of sets the course, does it not?  People can make up their own minds about this at the ballot box.

How about it's just wrong and disgusting what he said, regardless of what they may have said about him...

or whether he's done this before...

or whether he's President or not...?

When you enter the political arena, you get pushback.
Lebron James entered the political arena against Trump.  He gets pushback for that.

That's Fuzzy's answer to all the hate and bigotry spewed by the Orange Tangerine since the campaigning of 2016.
Our Atlas "loving Evangelical Christian," used the same excuse when defending trump's constant attacks on Khizr Khan, father of a Muslim-American Army captain killed while serving in Iraq.

Michael Jordan's reply through his spokesman:
"I support LeBron James. He's doing an amazing job for his community."

Looks like the Orange Tangerine's "great plan of attack" has backfired. Even with his own wife.
Oops.

And this is why nobody trusts CNN.

Because it triggers nativists like you?
Because its fake news.

CNN's anchors are blatantly partisan. But it's ok, people can see through it. As long as they keep playing Trump rallies on a meritocratic basis (ratings = airtime).

Now tell us about Faux anchors.
