LeBron: Trump's attacks bothersome because 'he has time to do that'
LeBron James' whirlwind of a summer involving a move to the Lakers and dozens of new productions from SpringHill Entertainment landed him on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter. And as he graces yet another magazine cover, he continues to express his disappointment with President Donald Trump.

In his interview with Marisa Guthrie, James shares that Trump's tweets where he insulted LeBron's intelligence didn't bother him because of their content. What truly bothered him is that the country's most prominent executive has the time to pick fights on twitter.
Asked if it bothers him that the president called him dumb, James just laughs. "No, because I'm not," he says. "That's like somebody saying I can't play ball. That doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is that he has time to even do that. He has the most powerful job in the world. Like, you really got this much time that you can comment on me?"
James became a target of the President following his interview about the new I Promise school with CNN's Don Lemon, but his opposition to Trump has been understood for years now.
While James continues to come up with new entertainment and philanthropic efforts seemingly popping up everyday, he will certainly stay busy without picking fights on social media. Unless Donald Trump is involved, that is.
