Like father, like child
Donald Trump Jr. feels empowered, much like his parents. Trump Jr. shares his opinion on celebrities and viral moments, which he considers to be highly valuable.
LeBron James had his two fans removed from their seats at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis earlier this week because of the insults they allegedly hurled.
Although the fans’ exact statements have not been confirmed by James, the athlete later told reporters of his decision to throw them out: “There’s a difference [between] cheering for your team and not wanting the other team to win and things I would never say to a fan and they shouldn’t say to me.”
Trump Jr. decided to recirculate this clip on his Instagram on Saturday night, asking: “Is there a bigger bitch in pro sports than LaSnitch?”
Then he took it one step further and shared a photohopped image of LeBron in a suit. ‘Karen’It is a spooky wig that we only hope Trump Jr. edited.
He captioned his photo. “LaKaren wants to speak to the manager!!!”
LeBron James may or may not have seen Don Jr.’s IG posts, but his supporters definitely have and they’ve come in herds to defend the NBA star online. While the politician’s son limited his comments on social media, people shared their thoughts on the interaction on Twitter.

“I wonder if Don Jr wants to call LeBron a bitch to his face. Or is he only tough on Twitter like his draft-dodging daddy?,” wrote Rex Chapman.
Jemele Hill tweeted “Don Jr. called LeBron a “bitch,” knowing full well he wouldn’t do shit but ask for an autograph if he ever saw LeBron face to face. Also, the irony of calling another man a bitch while limiting the comments on your post …”
Others compared LeBron’s long list of accomplishments to Don Jr.s.
Another author wrote: “And .@DonaldJTrumpJr called .@KingJames a bitch? Look, I don’t know thing one about basketball or whom plays the sport but I know a good human when I see one. I’ve heard of this gentleman’s selfless deeds for years and that makes me love the guy. Plus he’s been on #TeenTitansGo!”
It is safe to say that his social media posts didn’t have the Don Jr.-esque slam dunk. LeBron might be able to give him some pointers.
