LeBron
James calls President Trump a ‘Bum’ and thinks Obama was the ‘best ever.’ His
fans listen to him because he has a talent for basketball and buying huge
mansions. The letter writer below, a sports journalist, tells the truth, the
truth that applies to most celebrities on the left. It's a GREAT Letter to
Lebron from former Houston news reporter Hal Lundgren.
January, 2019
Mr. Lebron James
The Los Angeles
Lakers
2275 E. Mariposa Ave.
El Segundo, CA 90245
Dear Mr. James:
No one in my circles discusses French Modernist artists. That comforts
me. Such a conversation would expose me as an illiterate on French Modernism,
just as I am an illiterate on cooking and many other things. When I know nothing on a subject, my mouth stays
closed. That's at least one difference in us. You are an economics illiterate.
You prove it often. The dishonest ‘reporters’ who cover you want to be your
buddy. They won't embarrass you by being honest journalists and treat your
words as economics illiteracy. When you call Trump ‘a bum,’ none of them
will tell you that statistics rank him as one of our best presidents for black
Americans. His tax cuts and freeing us from absurd regulations have resulted in
-- after only 24 months -- the lowest unemployment numbers EVER for Hispanic
and black Americans, and one of the lowest numbers for women.
DURING THOSE 24 MONTHS, TRUMP'S POLICIES CREATED ABOUT FOUR TIMES MORE MANUFACTURING
JOBS THAN WERE CREATED DURING THE ENTIRE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S EIGHT YEARS!
Remember during the Trump campaign when Obama mistakenly said, "What's
Trump gonna do? Wave a magic wand? These lost manufacturing jobs aren't coming
back." Just maybe manufacturing job growth depends on a president
who knows what the hell he's doing as opposed to some smiling idiot who was
nothing more than a community organizer. As
a professional journalist, I cringe at some of Trump’s buffoonery, like
repeating sentences and wearing us out with ‘great, fantastic’ and other empty
adjectives. He is egotistical and bombastic. He was not my original candidate
which just goes to show how wrong I was. But there’s no question his policies
have helped many more minority Americans than Obama’s. It's not even close.
Today, he’s working to free many black and Hispanic prisoners who, in his
opinion, have been in prison too long for relatively minor offenses.
Are you aware of that effort?
You need to look up
Gross Domestic Product, adjusted for inflation, and learn what it means to
everyday Americans. Learn what one GDP point means to employment, and see how
Trump has kept the numbers climbing. Your
buddy Obama? In addition to being our
worst foreign affairs president, and worst military commander-in-chief, his
economic numbers all deserved an ‘F.’ He is our ONLY eight-year president who
failed to give us at least one 3% or higher year of adjusted GDP growth. EVERY
other president achieved at least one year of 4.28% or higher growth. Aided by
Vietnam spending, Johnson had an 8.48 year. The best peacetime year, 7.83,
belonged to Reagan. And Obama couldn't even score a 3?
Go ahead. Look it up.
You say you would talk to Obama, but not Trump? Why? Is it because
you're a star basketball player, and you feel this God-given talent elevates
you above speaking to the most powerful person on the face of the earth? How
tragic that your ego is so misplaced. Obama
had BY FAR the worst debt accumulation record of all our presidents in our
history. His economic blunders added about $9 trillion to our debt. NO OTHER
PRESIDENT EVEN CAME CLOSE! That's ALMOST as much indebtedness as ALL of the
former POTUSes combined! This debt will fall to you, your children, and your
grandchildren.
Poor families suffered most during Obama's tenure while he and his
family were on VACATION, most of his time in office, on taxpayer funds! His
awful job numbers forced a record number of people to receive food stamps.
Black household income under Obama fell steeply as black unemployment
rose.
Oh yes, you can look that up, too. But
the worst part of what Trump inherited is that Obama, like Bush and Clinton
before him, thought bribes and sweet talk were the best ways to deal with North
Korea. As the North Koreans neared being able to wipe out your present area of
employment, Los Angeles, with a nuclear-tipped missile, Trump became the first
president to stand up boldly to this rogue nation. Have you noticed North
Korea, because of Trump, has stopped launching missiles over Japan? Noticed
North Korea has released political prisoners? Noticed North Korea has returned
the remains of U.S. Service members? Absent sturdy spines, Clinton, Bush, and
Obama could not approach those major achievements.
Obama naively bribed the planet’s worst terrorist nation, Iran, with
what was supposed to become a $150 billion handout, mostly in cash, and without
notifying Congress. Did Obama not know many of those U.S. tax dollars would
help fund Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism? Of course, he did. He just wanted
to appease the masses.
Remember the $800 billion of your, and everyone else's, tax dollars in
his early stimulus for ‘shovel-ready jobs?’ Most of those tax dollars went to
political cronies. He handed $500 million to Solyndra, a solar company run by
HIS boosters. The company soon went bankrupt. Our half-billion in tax dollars
vanished with it. (And Trump can't get 5.7 billion to build a wall to keep ALL
Americans safe because he is asking to do it LEGALLY with Congress' approval.)
Trump is often
obnoxious, but people with courage often have that hang up. Obama always talked
big, smiled a lot, then feebly stood by and did nothing. A perfect example was
when Putin infringed on Ukraine and annexed Crimea. What did Obama do?
Not one damned thing! One of
Obama's most cowardly moves came when he warned Assad not to cross ‘the red line’
in Syria. When Assad ignored Obama’s warning, Obama once again did nothing;
which Assad knew would happen. Now please Mr. James, be honest. If this
happened with Trump in charge, do you really think this action would have
occurred without some retaliation? Hopefully, you're not that naive. It makes me sad that you, as someone with a
national voice, would be so ignorant of economics, and also of presidential
decisions. I encourage you to do more reading and thinking as you watch the
nation's GDP numbers improve, and minority employment rise.
Also See:
Read about ‘Right to Try,’ which frees terminally ill people to sign a
lawsuit waiver and take an experimental drug that might not be approved for
many years. Democrats fought this sensible plan for years because it would cost
them HUGE donations from the drug industry. In
order to become at least somewhat intelligently informed, Mr. James, why don't
you read about a Navy that Obama left to Trump that struggled with almost half
its carrier aircraft unsafe to fly.
Read about Trump's giving the VA the right to fire any employee who
neglects or abuses a patient.
Read about Trump's courage in challenging, actually demanding, NATO
partners begin to pay their fair share rather than keep mooching off the U.S. You might also read the wisdom of two of the
world’s brightest people, black intellectuals Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter
Williams. They have written numerous books. Sowell and Williams’ integrity,
remarkable insights, and clarity of expression cause their common sense to soar
off the page to readers, both Black AND white, I might add. Or, you could ignore vital Trump decisions,
and remain an illiterate on both presidential achievement and economics. If you
disdain knowledge, and keep calling Trump or any other U.S. president a bum
(YOUR word) other people with normal intelligence might actually begin to
wonder who the real bum is with a bigger mouth than Trump's!
Sincerely, Hal Lundgren
This article took some backbone to
write. Every fact listed in this letter is verifiable but, alas, the people who
should really read it will probably never do so, and will blindly go on
thinking and believing whatever pulp news is fed to them via the liberal media,
and will still vote for the so-called ‘free stuff’ until the money runs out.
When reality hits them in the face, and in their pocketbook, they will wonder
what the hell happened; and you can be sure they'll NEVER believe the truth and
how wrong socialism is even with Venezuela a prime example at this very moment.
We have fallen to a level I never believed possible in my lifetime.
So sad!
