Trump wasn’t attacking Lebron’s school or philanthropy. I am sure he’d commend all that too.

The hoopla was over some other politically charged comments Lebron made. I don’t remember anymore quite honestly.

basketball star LeBron James’s new $8 million school in Ohio for low-income and at-risk students.

How much of that $8 million came from his own pocket?

There is zero political gain from sucking up to black progressives with mediocre smarts

Nada

Move on

What he’s doing is working

Blacks love him relatively speaking

Left unsaid in the article: how much local taxpayers will chip in for said school.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer estimates their tab will run between 50 to 75 percent.

As ol’ Pappy Boyington reportedly said, “Show me a hero, and I’ll show you a bum.”

“ LeBron ‘s $8 million dollar school” is actually taxpayer supported and paid for
To set that part of the record straight

LeBrons school
Taxpayers will fund 75% of it
About $2 million will come from a LeBron foundation - so this will be funded from contributions made to LeBron’s ( nonprofit?) foundation
By who? Surely corporate and athlete and show biz donors will be hit up to contribute to “ LeBrons foundation”

So who is really “ paying” for the school?

Credit to the man for lending ( or selling) his name to the project
But lets get straight on who is taking care of who here and this guy has great lawyers accountants and PR people

Cool deal if you can set it up

They can’t stand the fact that Trump defends himself.

Same old go along to get along garbage. LEBron attacked Trump. Trump has every right to retaliate and to hell with this attitude that defending oneself is not “presidential.” That attitude is what has led to weak snowflakes and safe spaces. America was created by “Warriors” not WIMPS!

LeBum leaving Cleveland, again, is economically devastating for the area, a little charity doesn’t come close to making up for that.
