In Racist Attacks, Trump Insults LeBron James, Don Lemon & Maxine Waters
------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump has continued his racist attacks against prominent black
journalists, athletes and politicians. Early Saturday morning, he
insulted NBA superstar Le Bron James and CNN host Don Lemon, tweeting,
"Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don
Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do." Trump also
insulted California Democratic Congressmember Maxine Waters during a
campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, late last week, falsely
claiming Waters has a "Very low IQ." In response to Trump's comments
about Le Bron James, Melania Trump said through her spokesperson, "It
looks like Le Bron James is working to do good things on behalf of our
next generation."
