[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fuck the Lakers.

Some guy tweeted:

Lebron puts children through school.

Trump puts children in cages.

That's all I'm going to say on the subject.

 

[Orion Bailey]

fuck the president. Focus on something that matters!!!!!
He is like the durant of politics.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Sad state of affairs when a dude builds a school for at risk kids and our president is bashing him for it.
At the very worst, Lebrons doing it to stroke his ego, he loves all the attention he’s getting, it’s all for good pub, blah, blah, blah. You know what even if that’s all true (doubt it) he’s still doing something extremely good for kids who need help!
Sure I disagree with Lebron on politics, but he’s been a pretty stand up citizen, he’s been a good father, just abhorrent to me that the disrespect we’re ok with in this country is this bad... just dumb. Lebrons done much more good with his talents and abilities and wealth than Trump ever has...

Trump is filth. Trash. Pathetic human being and a complete asshole.

 

[Labinot41]

I thought Merkel was terrible, but you guys have the worst President in the History of humanity. LeBron makes school for children and is paying the college for thousands of students and Trump insults him? Wtf

Black unemployment reached a record low: 6.8 percent. That’s the lowest black unemployment has been since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking unemployment, which started in 1972. “The lowest in nearly 5 decades and a credit to [President Donald Trump’s] economic policies!!” tweeted White House deputy press secretary Raj Shah.

And how about a GDP growth rate of 4.1%...

We are experiencing the best economy in over a decade and Trump is actually helping minority’s much more than Obama ever did.

It’s ok for LeBron to call Trump a bum and spread a false nararitive about Trump... on matters he spends ZERO time researching... just running with a CNN headline. I’m a fan of LeBron and love the things he does for the community, but him blaming Trump for dividing the country is a joke. How about CNN and liberal media not focusing on facts and trying to falsely turn everything into a race issue to try to get votes in next election... or Kaepernick saying America sucks... but LeBron says Trump is the one dividing America... ok.

It’s really sad how entrenched people are with their party affiliations and not willing to dig deep for information and be open minded... they just accept opinion based headlines in media as fact...

 

[James lamphear]

Trump the draft dodger shouldn't have a say to anything and definitely shouldn't not leading this country. Oh I forgot he is not leading he is dividing. LeBron great job doing the school for those kids.

#fakeuniversity (he was so dumb he didn't even file the paperwork in New York to get his fake school accredited) he's a lazy, lying blowhard without convictions...a snake oil salesman with a fake sugar water cure all for any idiot who'll listen to him

Yeah right. He's not helping blacks when he backs the racists at Charlottesville.

Those percentages are fools gold. We have yet to see the effects of the mess Trump has made for us. Next year his tax breaks for the rich will fully kick in, screwing millions of Americans. This along with the weight of his tarrifs is going to crush the economy.

 

[stampedehero]

I see LBJ as living in the present and doing good things. Can't see that with Trump...

Isn’t it all kind of politics? When good things happened during Obama’s presidency it was because of bush (according to the right), when bad things happened it was because of bushes policies or the right did whatever (according to the left).

Who knows how his policies will effect the economies, but at the same we shouldn’t cheer for them to hurt people just because we dislike who is in office.

In my opinion Trump sucks but the state of the country right now, the economics included is on both sides hands too many life time politicians playing the game and thus the people for their own gain.

Sir, you state people are not willing to 'dig deep for information' but your post implies the economic gains under Trump are better than Obama and other previous administrations. They haven't been. This is one of literally thousands of lies Trump tells his cult followers. His deceptions and cult following would be sad were it not so terrifying. Oh, and his economic policies, including his tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, are going to end up transferring wealth from working Americans to the rich and crashing the economy. Again.

This. But he and his sponsors will by then have reaped the windfall. The beauty for Republicans is that the crash will come with Democrats in charge, so they can once again, as they have my entire lifetime, claim Republican economic policies are good, Democrats are bad. It's maddening.

I'm not rooting for his policies to fail. I am saying they are going to.

Then the Republicans will be in charge again and take credit for the positive upswing in the economy due to Democractic policies as Trump is doing.

Doesn’t it go both ways here? Every time something good happens both sides jump to claim it, when something bad happens both sides jump to say it was the others faults. I’m definitely fiscally conservative, but I don’t think Democrats = bad. In fact the fiscally “left” have their merits, I don’t particularly think either side has all the answers.
Fact is just about anything they do will be good for someone and bad for some one else.

I can 100% for sure say that Obama’s healthcare act hurt my family, but that doesn’t mean it was bad for everyone. It helped many people! It’s a complicated subject it’s not as simple as Democrat = bad republican = good or vice versa.

It could have imo worse if HC had won. Im neither Trump or Clinton fan. What I am is a Libertarian that endorse small efficient gov and moderate on social issues and fiscal conservative.

The freaking media and partisan views on both sides are so polarized, self serving and to egotistical to at least try and agree/compromise on issues. IMO, when the ability for a democracy loses the ability to come together with both sides willing to compromise some, its basically civil war..

At worst, Clinton has poise and dignity. Trump makes us a laughingstock.

Gonna be honest I think it’s a little strange that’s the “worst” you have for Clinton, but to each their own I suppose...
I know plenty of democrats who really struggled with 2016 election too, I sincerely hope as the 2020 stuff ramps up we’re all paying more attention and we all do everything we can to not let history repeat itself.
