LOS ANGELES: Cleveland Cavaliers superstar LeBron James blasted Donald Trump on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) for making hate “fashionable again,” saying individuals must combat racism and not look to the “so-called president”. James reacted swiftly after the US president reiterated his opinion that there was “blame on both sides” in the deadly racial unrest in Charlottesville at the weekend. Yes we know that but Donald Trump just made it fashionable again!” James tweeted shortly after Trump angrily defended his controversial initial response to the white supremacist rally on Saturday that erupted in clashes with counter-demonstrators. But in an exchange with reporters at Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday, a clearly irked Trump again said that both groups were at fault in inciting violence. “It’s sad what’s going on in Charlottesville,” James tweeted on Saturday.
