James retweeted this video, saying, "A Must Watch!!! Salute @BetoORourke for the candid thoughtful words!"

President Donald Trump and Lebron James have butted heads in the past regarding politics.
Lebron James said in a CNN interview with Don Lemon "that he would not be willing to sit down with President Trump. Lemon asked him, "What would you say to the president if he were sitting right here?"
James responded, "I would never sit across from him."
Following that interview, President Trump that Lebron James somehow managed to make Lemon look smart.
Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!
