Trump's newest target

This past weekend, Trump has taken on the NBA and the NFL on Twitter. He disinvited the Golden State Warriors from coming to the White House and told NFL owners to fire players who kneeled during the national anthem. As he has done during his presidency, he has taken to Twitter to rant, already having posted multiple times about the NFL/NBA conflict he has had and retweeting pictures from accounts that support him.

Because Trump has chosen to attack famous athletes directly on Twitter, he has also had to deal with the reality that these athletes also have millions of followers and supporters. Lebron James, for example, took to Twitter to criticize Trump's decision to disinvite the Golden State Warriors.

Twitter has been Trump's preferred method of announcing his decisions, but mainstream media has covered the conflict. The New York Times is providing live coverage of NFL protests and reactions and other publications like the LA Times and BBC have also provided coverage of his latest rants.
