LeBron James doubles down with sneaky golf hip turns during national anthem after Trump's 'total disgrace' dig

LeBron James doubles down with sneaky golf hip turns during national anthem after Trump's 'total disgrace' dig
100%

Hours after President Donald Trump ripped his national anthem golf swing antics, LeBron James appeared to double down by working on his golf hip turns during Thursday's night's anthem before the Philadelphia 76ers faced the Cleveland Cavaliers.

In what was a clear shot back at Trump, LeBron, who wouldn't dare disrespect the Chinese anthem, was seen standing normally during the national anthem before sending a signal back to Trump that sure looked like hip turns that golfers would use during warmups.

The Philadelphia Inquirer called hip turns "stretching." The golf world knows better.

TRUMP BLASTS LEBRON JAMES AS A 'TOTAL DISGRACE' OVER HIS NATIONAL ANTHEM ANTICS DURING 76ERS DEBUT

Earlier Thursday, Trump unleashed on the Chinese sympathizer.

"While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!"

This is the video that had Trump, a noted golfer fanatic himself, fuming mad.

During a campaign stop Thursday night, Trump continued to hammer away. "What about LeBron James? Did you see that deal?" Trump asked voters in Iowa. "He's practicing his golf swing. I said, what the hell is that? I don't understand it."

"Slow news day at the office," LeBron said after the game when asked about Trump's Truth Social post that clearly got his attention.
