Donald Trump’s feud with professional athletes escalated rapidly on Saturday, with the most high-profile player in the NBA taking to Twitter to lambast the president.

While Curry and James are often facing off against each other on the basketball court – they’ve clashed in the last three NBA Finals – the reckless man in the White House has given them a reason to join forces.

In previous administrations, this kind of behavior from a President of the United States would be beneath the office. But it’s become apparent that there is nothing beneath Donald Trump.
