When Donald Drumpf isn't tweeting his support of the wrong candidate in Ohio's 12th district these days, he's going after LeBron James. Wow, big mistake.
We cats can't think of many people we admire more than LeBron. We didn't always, back when he was ditching Cleveland for Miami. But over the years, he's changed our minds — big-time. We loved his self-deprecating turn in "Trainwreck," of course — but that pales in comparison to opening a school for at-risk kids in Akron.
Drumpf, of course, had to tweet insultingly about both LeBron and CNN's Don Lemon last night (we cats were snug in bed already, having better things to do). Today the world is rallying to both men's defense. We just rolled our eyes at Drumpf's latest display of sociopathic behavior, but it bothered us that he ended the tweet with "I like Mike!"
We warned the Twittersphere: Don't fall for that crap. If we get into a discussion about who's better, LeBron or Michael Jordan (who has never demonstrated LeBron's commitment to helping others), we lose. It's exactly what Drumpf wants. Avert your eyes.
Turns out that was a good idea, because Michael Jordan has responded. "I support L.J.," he said. "He's doing an amazing job for his community."
We've occasionally wondered if, after his basketball career and when he's not busy good-deed-doing, LeBron James would consider running for office. This morning's events make us even more interested in that. We cats PURR.
