Should LeBron and Other Athletes Even Bother Responding to Trump?

At this point I’m not sure. At some point you risk being perceived as being as brain dead as Donald Trump and his ‘followers’ if you do so.

I’m probably more in the Aaron Rodgers school of thought where you should just ignore Trump like any other petulant fourth grader who needs constant attention. Responding to Trump while probably somewhat gratifying gets you nowhere except in his twitter universe. It’s plays into his game of perpetual trolling.

It has gotten General John Kelly and General Bulldog Mattis nowhere. Where it has gotten these decorated generals is the perception they’ve ruined their legacies by even being part of Donald Trump’s team. If two American heroes like Kelly and Mattis can’t even handle Trump’s random yet constant stupidity—where do you think athletes are going to end up playing this game?

This is where we’re at…in a current poll…43% of Republicans who ‘still’ support Donald Trump believe he should have the constitutional authority to do away with parts of the media who aren’t in his corner. Consider what I just wrote. Consider the implications of living in an America which has become this stupid.

Especially stupid is a segment of white America which I guess thinks the answer to all of America’s problems is reverting to Dwight Eisenhower’s first term in 1952.

Even Richard Nixon in 1960 when he lost to JFK by a razor thin margin after some dubious election returns from Chicago would never have behaved like this. He went on. Nixon actually thought a recount in 1960 would be bad for the country. Can you imagine in 2016 that Trump and ‘followers’ would have ever done something like this?

I wonder what Ike would say? I wonder what fellow WWII general and creator of the Marshall Plan…General George Marshall would think?

I wonder if these 43% which Mitt Romney accidently missed on with his 47% comment know who Dwight Eisenhower and George Marshall are? I wonder if they know of Nixon’s grace in 1960?

Maybe Mattis and Kelly could explain some of this to the 43% who two of our greatest generals were and Richard Nixon’s finest moment were.

Good luck with that…Generals.

2+2=5 in Trump World.

So…here’s what I’m saying here. Stop responding to Donald Trump. This is the oxygen a petulant fourth grader like Trump and his fans feeds off of.

Ignore Trump and continue doing wonderful things to help children in this country.

Don’t dirty yourself.

Be above it.
