Trump’s past is no more remember? Hes a born-again Republican, all his past sins have been washed away!

Twitter Explodes Over Donald Trump’s ‘Disgusting’ Attack On LeBron James

Trump bilked people out of their hard-earned money last time he dabbled in "education".

Trump University Settlement for Students of Sham

The president's time could be better spent reevaluating the education system and how it could be improved. Perhaps even commend James for stepping in and doing the gvovernment's job for them.

The school includes the following:
- breakfast, lunch and snacks
- focus on STEM
- free bike, helmet
- trauma support system
- GED, training and help finding jobs for parents
- guaranteed college tuition upon graduation

The Lebron James public school is the Education Model America Needs
It wasn't Trumps university. He had nothing to do with the day to day operations. He lent his name to it. Should he have paid better attention to something under his name? Of course. Did he? No

Why doesn't the left bring up policy instead of this garbage?

Maybe you need to attend his new school too.
Is that the best you got?

I see the apologists are in full force again. I've heard so many freakin' excuses for this man on my Facebook feed this past week, it's incredible. The pretzel knots you people will contort yourself in to shield this low-life are remarkable. You wouldn't give any other president one-tenth of the coverage as you give this huckster.

How about the man does some good policy stuff AND be a moral human being? How about you just say that you like the policies he's implemented but you really hate the dishonest things he's done? It's really okay to do that. Why do you feel the need to excuse/accept the poor behavior side of him? I can't figure that out. Trump University is NOT okay.

Just like the Slave Masters that came before him the only thing he's worried about is himself. He ain't worried about his impoverished brothers.

And this school? It's nothing but a tax deduction for him.
LeBron as ‘Slave Master’. I LOVE that one!

You right wingers are a miserable lot. If I’d posted a thread about Lebron being locked in jail, you and your conservative confederates would be posting smiley emojis and talking about how wonderful the news is. [/QUOTE]

Holy sh|t!! We actually agree on something! Me and my confederates, while sitting in a bunker adorned with rebel flags and statues of Robert E. Lee, would be raising a toast upon hearing the ‘LeBron in jail’ news.🎉🎊🍾

BTW, we are not that miserable. We are just too busy working to help fund all the gov’t handouts certain ‘groups’ make a lifestyle of receiving. All the players in the NBA and NFL combined don’t have the scratch to make up the difference if we stopped working and handing our money to Uncle Sam to give to all the useless takers in this country.

WHY doesn't Trump's so-called policy match his actions? He claims to be so tough on Russia yet did nothing but fawn over brutal dictator Putin in Helsinki rather than call him out as he did to his own people before throwing them under the bus

Removing the "LeBron vs Ingraham" angle and just addressing the school, what LeBron James is doing is such a beautiful thing. He's opened a school for young children in low-income parts of Akron, his hometown, to try and give them the best chance at making it in life.

Free bicycles and helmets, job placement programs for the parents, a food pantry for families who are struggling.

How could ANYONE find ANYTHING negative about this?

Well the left has become a mess of tabloids and TMZ junk TV and headlines...they lose on ideas and have absolutely no policies that are realistic to tax paying citizens....Not too long ago in nyc, they even hoisted up a 27 year old self proclaimed socialist who has policies similar to Mao Zedong.

Now they're back to begging getting fossils like Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders to get out the old folks home and give it another run again. Hillary is even said to be getting a few smoke signals

Anyone with an ounce of sense knows that Trump simply sold his name to a business that wanted to capitalize off of his brand during the height of the Apprentice.

But they don't care about the facts...needless to say, they are gushing about Lebron today....I guarantee you they are whispering in his ear about becoming President...like they did with Oprah and Jay Z.

I like what Lebron did but he is the flavor of the week in the world of limousine liberal politics.
