Attacks LeBron James as "racist" and warns "YOU'RE NEXT"

After LeBron James tweeted "YOU'RE NEXT #ACCOUNTABILITY" with a photo of the officer who shot Ma'Khia Bryant, Trump issued a statement attacking James. He called the NBA star's comments "racist rants" that were "divisive, nasty, insulting, and demeaning," and accused James of doing nothing to unite the country. The statement inverted the racial dynamics of the incident, framing the Black athlete calling for accountability as the true racist.
