## Resource

Trump sparks controversy again by suggesting LeBron James might be racist, reigniting their long-standing feud. The president contrasts James with Michael Jordan — whom he calls a friend — while criticizing James for his political stances and interviews. Their tension dates back to 2016, when James endorsed Hillary Clinton, and escalated after Trump revoked a White House invite to the Warriors. Trump’s pattern of criticizing athletes who don’t publicly support him — including Curry and Durant — underscores his preference for loyalty over activism.
