Any NBA player would be a more competent president than Trump but Trump couldn't last a minute in any NBA game.

He needs to focus on his own job.

He needs to focus on his own job.

As much as sports stars focus solely on sports ?

He never misses an opportunity to point out the hypocrisy of athletes and entertainers. The ChiComs hit the NBA and certain players in the wallet and they folded like a cheap lawn chair.

Perhaps you could say, if the NBA can at least try to view the Chinese side of issues, why can't they also try to view the American side of issues as well ?

Amen.

Wow. I didn't think it would required to point this out, but the job of the POTUS has more of an impact on the world than that of a sports star's and should accordingly be given more focus. Trump's job impacts the world, though yes he treats it with far less focus, drive, competence and strategy then a NBA player treats his job so I can see why you are confused. There are literally people who will die due to Trump's depraved decisions regarding the Kurds, but it's extremely unlikely that anybody is ever literally going to die bc of a sports star's performance. It's also highly unlikely anyone is going to die bc of the job performance of any of the other celebrities, sports and otherwise, Trump tries to bully via Twitter only to be clapbacked.

Wow. I didn't think it would (be) required to point this out, but the job of the POTUS is politics

The President does not critique basketball players on the court

He does not tell them how to play the game

He only responds politically after they involve themselves in his business (of politics)

This entire conversation is about (what to do in) politics, not (what to do in) basketball...
