Actually, LeBron has provided a LOT of money to get students through college in his home town of Akron, OH. And I do mean a lot of money.

At least LeBron is actuallydoing something very visible to improve the lot of people in Akron, and despite his politics has not offended fans for the wrong reasons. Colin Kaepernick made too political enemies with that "polics as pig" sock and that T-shirt that celebrated Fidel Castro.

I actually think this is a waste of time for Trump. I personally think that his response should be along the lines of:

‘Lebron has done some great things for underprivileged kids, and I loudly and strongly applaud that. In that goal, he and I agree entirely, so I’m not really sure why he has been so strongly critical. We should be working together to give inner city communities the tools, skills, and motivation to lift themselves to great heights - not doing what the Democrats have done to these communities by encouraging dependence upon government and in the process robbing them of their self esteem.’

How is helping kids get politically lobotimized by Marxist professors in colleges improving them?

LeBron crossed a line with the slavery, Jim Crow comments. He deserves to be hit back hard.
