Donald Trump attacked Don Lemon shortly before midnight on Friday night. He was watching Lemon interview NBA legend Lebron James on “fake news” CNN about the opening of Lebron's I Promise School for at-risk youth in Ohio.
Tweeted Trump: “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn't easy to do. I like Mike!”

Lemon fired back: “Who's the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages? #BeBest”

CNN also interjected: “Sounds like @FLOTUS had the remote last night. 📺 We hope you both saw the incredible work of @KingJames. #BeBest”

As if Trump and FLOTUS spend their off-time together.
