Yeah, that’s LeBron James pictured bigger than life. His phenomenal basketball career has made him that way. If you read his life stats, they’ll impress you even more than the “B” stats. A humble beginning that stayed humble while his fame and fortune multiplied exponentially. Still happily married to his H.S. sweetheart. Never arrested or used drugs. No outside of marriage babies. And treated 1100+ kids to a totally paid for college education. Plus, his foundation recently opened a new school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio for at risk kids. LeBron didn’t have to attend college to succeed, but he understands education’s value to the individual.
We Americans have very few superstar, athletic heroes that can and have passed his acclaimed litmus test. He’s a genuine, All-American model citizen.
Yet, he’s being continually rebuffed by our president because James’ views don’t coincide with our president’s. James maintains that the president is being divisive in wanting to use our national patriotism to stomp-out the NFL player protests in order to degrade those players and their beliefs. Moreover to get them fired.
This dictatorial attitude of Donald’s is extremely troublesome. He praises the way Kim Jong-un’s people religiously follow him. He said Americans should follow him likewise. If anyone in his staff offers up a different opinion, etc.,Trump immediately tweets to terminate. He’s an habitual liar. He says one thing today, but tomorrow, he refutes it. He doesn’t believe our US intelligence departments are valid in accusing the Russians of positively influencing this past election on his behalf. But in the very next breath, he resends that statement.
I believe that had not the Russians interfered in our elections, Hillary would have won, not that I voted for either of them–but I did vote.
Trump’s tactics mirror Hitler’s philosophy: “Make a lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.” Give this president enough rope, and he’ll eventually hang himself (hopefully, political speaking only). Omarosa Manigault Newman’s recent release, Unhinged apparently adds length to Trump’s rope by charting the troubled waters of the Trump administration she was so desperately trying to navigate in. Yes, his administration is at it again: damage control. They’re using the same, worn out tactics of trying to discredit Omarosa anyway they think the public will swallow. Nothing new to this strategy. But what’s ironic to me is that the very praise Donald initially had for all of his hired staff members, quickly vanishes (like in the blink of an eye) the moment they publically voice opposed opinions. Immediately (like in tweets) that praise turns to a vendetta, attacking the same integrity he once praised before they got fired–OK, allowed to resign. So, who can fire Trump? Don’t speculate. Given enough rope–the Donald, himself!
James apparently tweeted that Trump is a bum. I wouldn’t disagree with that assessment.
LeBron James is a whole lot more of a genuine American icon story than you know who (Trump) will ever be–and without the “proper” education.
