Satire from The Borowitz Report
Trump Says He Could Beat LeBron James in a Dunk Contest If Not for Bone Spurs

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald Trump escalated his war of words with LeBron James on Saturday by saying that he could defeat the N.B.A. star in a dunk contest were it not for bone spurs.
“I’ve seen LeBron James on TV, and, quite frankly, I don’t think he’s very good at basketball,” Trump said. “The media is very unfairly biased in favor of him because he’s a Democrat, and I think it’s a disgrace.”
“You look at LeBron and sometimes when he shoots the ball, it doesn’t go into the basket,” he said. “If I try to drink a glass of water and miss my mouth, it’s all CNN talks about.”
Trump said that it was “very sad” that his bone spurs would keep him from showing off his slam-dunk form, which he called “poetry in motion.”
“A lot of people are saying that I’m better at dunking than that beauty LeBron,” he said. “A lot of very smart people.”
At the N.B.A. bubble, in Orlando, James, drafted out of high school, responded that he understood that the President’s foot woes would prevent him from participating in a dunk contest, but said that he would be happy to face Trump in a spelling contest.

Well, that's not a fair match-up. LeBron took his own tests and did his own school work.
Trump barely passed a cognitive test and paid other people to take his tests.
Not that we've actually seen those results of the cognitive test.
Maybe they're hidden with his tax returns and school grades.

Nixon was corrupt, but nowhere near as corrupt as Trump.
