  1. Donald Trump shouldn't have went after Lebron James for helping young kids in Ohio. Donald Trump's wife told Lebron that he is doing good by helping the kids in Ohio.

  2. I agree with Melania Trump and her opinion. She believes that LeBron is intending to do good things for the children. LeBron made a generous decision by opening a school for students in Akron. I think President Trump is conflicted towards LeBron. In conclusion, Melania Trump isn't affected by their conflict and still up brings LeBron.

  4. The article talks about Melania Trump and her somewhat independent views from her husband, particularly about Lebron James efforts. She doesn't care about her husband's attitude toward Lebron or Lebron's attitude toward Trump. It's good to know not everything is driven by petty emotions and tantrums.

  5. My opinion is its great that the first lady can give praise to LeBron James even though her husband and him had some twitter beef. I agree with Melania Trump it doesn't matter what's going on as long as you can tell right from wrong. Plus its great that LeBron James is helping children.

  6. I think Lebron James is doing a good thing like Grisham said. Donald Trump shouldn't be coming after LeBron for doing something that benefits the children. I think Donald is mad because LeBron said "He wouldn't sit down across from the President if he were given the opportunity." That is why he came for LeBron James.

  7. My Opinion on this article is Melani Trump is right for supporting Lebron James. He is doing great things to give back to his community and Home in Cleveland. Providing a A great school for in need kids just like he was during that age. President Donald J. Trump is a idiot for the wack tweet about the interview he did on CNN.Yes I do agree with the First Lady's opinion about what great community work Lebron James is doing.

  8. My opinion is that trump said something to NBA which is not good, so Melania going to blame Lebron that he is responsbile of trumps attack. Trump has used athletics and athletes to divide the country.

  9. Donald trump didn't have no right for what he said about LeBron. LeBron doing the right things with helping kids and trump just doing stuff for attention. His wife just need to be quite

  10. I agree with Melania, thought she and her husband has been through many criticism, she still spoke out to matters that she sees is part of her job. If she thinks something should be done or what she think is right, it is her job to address it and she did just that by sending praises to Lebron for also contributing to charity work. Though she doesn't say much about her opinions she always have her spokeswoman to give intel on what the first lady is doing to contribute to the nation.

  11. I'd say Melania Trump is in the right in this situation. I don't see how she couldn't be really. Someone made a school and she praised him instead of insulting him. You'd that would be many people's first reactions, but of course not Trump. It's obvious that Melania isn't very fond of Donald in general, which is why their opinions tend to clash. He's an incredibly toxic person, but she's at least trying to do the right things now that she's in the spotlight.

  12. I agree with LeBron because he did nothing wrong. He spoke how he really felt so you cant really get mad at that.

  13. In this article its talking about how Donald Trump attacks Lebron James on twitter. A day or two later his wife was congradulating him because of the charity events he was doing to help children. Lebron is a rich man that is not selfish and help others.

  14. Yes I agree with Melania Trump and her opinion , I think she is wanting Lebron James to do good things for the children ,President Donald Trump is not acting rights towards LeBron james on helping the kids out . Also he open up an school for the kids ,Lebron james is doing whats right .

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think that Lebron James did a great job by opening the new school mainly focusing on changing the way we learn and showing that black people can open a school too. Melania trump had an amazing point in saying lebron did a great job.i don't think she should've up for her coward husband who try to downgrade someone trying to help the community and help change the life of young children.

  16. Donald trump had no right at coming after Lebron James for giving back to kids in need. Donald Trump favorite words is " lets make america great again" but he always misses something up. I feel that Donald Trump need to watch what he tweets out for social media to see.

  17. Trump is always against other people for everything. He always have to dictate other people for what they do, and use it against them. I bet he's becoming more of a dictator than a president.

  18. I agree with The First Lady because Lebron is doing something good for the future generation. Donald Trump shouldn't be disagreeing with Lebron for doing something good.

  19. I agree with Melania Trump because Trump shouldn't went after LeBron James for helping kids in Ohio . Trump only went after him because he was helping black kids get in schooling . LeBron made a good choice for trying to open a school. Melania said it was good that he was trying to help kids. In conclusion Melania does not go by what Trump said .

  20. I agree with LeBron because he has a freedom of speech and he can say what he wants but at the end of the day Donald Trump was wrong because Freedom of speech doesnt mean throw shade and throw hatred towards someone. LeBron is doing something positive for his community and children at least he did something positive on the other hand Mr.Trump is just being ignorant and worried about the wrong things he needs to worry about what he needs to do for this country.

  22. My opinion on this article is that Trump honestly needs to leave people alone and stay in his lane. I say this because LeBron James is trying help children and build schools for them. I'm sure James doesn't want anyone bringing him down about the good things that he is doing. Melania Trump says that she loves the things that James is doing. James wants to change the world and help the next generation so they wont feel like they don't have anything to live for.

  23. I think is great that even though Donald Trump doesn't agree with what LeBron James is doing, Melania Trump is unaffected about what James has towards her husband. She gave her own opinion of the situation and doesn't want any drama.

  24. I agree with Melania's decision to speak out against her mentally challenged husband, Donald, because it shows that she is not a woman who just sits back and watches things transpire as a result of the unnecessary and immature actions of her significant other. When the first lady spoke out, it also displayed that she has a mind of her own, and does not let everything her husband does (like sending racist tweets and threats) speak for her as well.

  26. In my opinion i think LeBron James and Melania Trump is doing the right thing. While they are out trying to help the children Donald Trump saying that its wrong to do that. Since Melania speaks up for what she think is right or wrong she is actually praising LeBron after Trump talk about him. With her not choosing a side she can speak her mind up without regret.

  27. all of this stuff about trump and all this and that is making me sick, Lebron is doing good things and why people have a problem with it I don't know, but I am happy that Malania said something about the manner and basically support legions side and gave him his credits.

  28. I agree with Melania's statement about Lebron and his good intentions to support the charity. However, the conflict between her husband and Lebron is kinda eh. Trump literally took another motorcade to the Union address instead of being in the same ride with him and I'm pretty sure Lebron didn't mind at all. I don't think they're going to work it out anytime soon. Lebron's political views is his own but Melania will continue to noticed and praised his admirable efforts.

  29. I agree with LeBron. Also i don't think that Donald Trump should said such negative words to Don Lemon and Lebron. Also Melania Trump did the right thing for defending LeBron.

  30. I'm not sure what to say, other than the fact that this whole thing is uncalled for. This would've been avoided easily, but that's where the president and his wife likes to start a whole bunch of drama. The fact that the First Lady is demure in a way that makes her a little bit more nicer than Donald Trump is actually surprising to me. In all honesty, I thought she was basically going to be worse than her husband.

  31. I agree with Melania's decision to speak out against her husband. Lebron is doing good right now and she supports. She gave her own opinion of the situation and doesn't want any drama.

  32. I agree with Melania on this topic of Lebron and the good deeds he's doing with the kids trying to better their lives. Lebron not wanting to sit down with trump is completely understandable and most people like me wouldn't want to meet him so him giving an honest statement and Trump coming at him on social media for speaking his mind was uncalled for. Melania giving a positive statement about him a day later and commending him on his work was justified because of all the good things he's during but it did still contradicts her husband and his statement overall.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think that LeBron James is doing a great job for opening schools for kids and the way Melania said that she was proud of what he is doing for the kids after her husband insulted Lebron for his intellect for helping open more schools for children so that more can be educated.

  34. LeBron James is doing good by reaching to the kids but Donald trump always has something to say for everything that happens in the world.

  35. I don't agree her

  36. I think that the fact that Melanie isn't listening to what her husband is saying and letting that affect how she feels towards certain people is good, James is doing an amazing job with helping kids and people.

  37. Melanie trump is right by standing by Lebron, he has done so much for children and communities for education and athletics. After what trump said about Lebron what the First Lady did was very respectful and professional after saying what the president said. The president is know for saying things that aren’t need to be said and creates conflict with social media users.

  38. People often think that since people are married they have to have the same opinions/views which is not true. They are two separate people who are allowed to have different beliefs. I agree with Melania, LeBron is doing good things for kids and it should be praised.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I agree with Melania Trump. Whether President Trump likes Lebron James or not, he's doing tremendous work in the community and deserves recognition. It's perfectly fine for Melania to commend James and even to see things differently from her husband who tends to lead with his emotions.

    ReplyDelete
  40. My opinion is that Trump needs to get off of LeBron James back. Talking bad about a man who is trying to do good things is showing what type of person you are. I appreciate Melanie for responding against her husband about this situation. This is my opinion of they article and the situation.

  41. I agree with her because she is supporting that LeBron is doing something for the kids.

  42. The article talks about Melania Trump and her independent views from her husband. Particularly about LeBron James efforts. She doesn't care about her husband's attitude toward Lebron or Lebron's attitude toward Trump. It's good to know not everything is driven by petty emotions and tantrums.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree with Melania. Her husband has completely different views from her on many situations. She doesn't let his opinions influence her opinions. She completely expresses her thoughts independently.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I agree with her. She's going to be supporting something that's worth it. Lebron is actually helping these kids to better their future. Donald should be supporting him too. Because Lebron is actually helping people. I'm glad Melania stand up for what she wants and to support.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I agree with Melanie Trump. She has the right to stand with whoever she wants to and she has the right to have an opinion that is not the same as her husband. LeBron also has the right to his own opinion and to choose who he does and does not want to be associated with.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I agree with Melania trump because she is supporting Lebron James. He is doing amazing work for our community. By opening a promise school he is giving back to our children. She has the right to have her own input, she does not need to agree with Trump just because that is her husband and president.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Melania Trump is supporting LeBron James dispite what her husband says. Melania Trump has stayed very quiet about what her husband has been doing. She has finally given her opinion what her husband has said about Lebron's new school.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I agree with LeBron on what he is doing to help the kids of his hometown. But Trump needs to get off his back. Trump has done unthinkable things since he got in office, and I can't blame James for not wanting to sit across from a president who is on the news everyday about some investigation he is involved in. Trump is doing to much. In my own right, I would sit down with the President Trump, but I would lay down the law to him and make him understand what he is doing to our government and country.

  49. I agree because Melania Trump is supporting a great cause. while on the other hand her husband is not.

  50. I agree with Melania, LeBron is doing great work with the schools and giving back to the community. I also think Melania is doing a good job over looking Lebron and her husbands feelings towards eachother.

  51. Melania has the right to her own opinion, and whether her husband agrees or not we are living in a country where freedom of expression is the foundation. Also, with an increasingly feminist society, people, mainly women are beginning to support those who stand up and make decisions on controversial issues. Lebron is doing an amazing job in his community and Melania, though contradicting her husband, recognizes that and makes sure to acknowledge him.

  52. I agree with Melania Trump because Trump shouldn't went after LeBron James for helping kids in Ohio. He is doing great things to give back to his community and Home in Cleveland.

  53. My opinion is that trump needs to keep his mouth shut and stay out of people buisness. He is always starting things with other people and making a big deal out of little thing's. I think mrs trump is a good lady because she apologized for trumps action

  54. I agree with Melania, because LeBron is doing good things for kids. He is the first NBA player to open up a school for children. He is trying to give kids an education and he wants the kids to succeed while they attend his school.

    ReplyDelete
  55. In my opinion, I agree with LeBron James, he's is doing a great job investing his money on the people of our generation in schools and even creating his own for the last fortunate so more children can be educated and I also agree with The First Lady, Melania, she was proud knowing he is doing things for the kids and praised him for his intellect .

    ReplyDelete
  56. I agree with Melania about praising the good things that LeBron James has done. Also for not letting her husbands opinion be hers. I also agree with LeBron James in not wanting to sit across from the president. Since that is his opinion no one should tell him otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  57. In my opinion I feel as if that Melanie Trump was actually doing the right thing in supporting what LeBron was doing with trying to help solve issues within the lives of children. And that trump was in the wrong for calling someone out like that.

  58. Melania Trump & Donald Trump obviously aren't on the same page. I definitely agree with Melania, Lebron definitely deserves around of applause.

    ReplyDelete
  59. My honest opinion on this topic is that Trump needs to worry about his own intellect before he can talk about anybody else. I agree with Melania with Lebron being a good person by doing things for the kids and their education. I also think that she was just saying that because she wanted to have an image where she is a good person but how can you look like a good person and be married to an orange species that goes by the name Donald Duck. Overall Lebron is the goat and the duck and his wife need to sit down and be quiet for once in their lives.

  60. I agree with Lebron because he is providing for the upcoming generation , he doing such as opening schools for kids . This shows that Lebron cares and think every child should have a chance of getting an education .

  61. I agree with Melania Trump, she has her own opinions and has the power of freedom of speech. It is clear that her intentions were always to show with greatness. Her husbands thoughts do not control her own, and LeBron James is doing a great job with his charity. If its for a good cause there shouldn't be a issue.

    ReplyDelete
  62. My opinion is that Trump needs to keep his mouth shut because one day he might say something to the wrong person and something might happen to him. Another thing that is he can't really talk because you really can not name something he did to give back to his community like LeBron just did. I believe it is Good that Melania said something nice for once unlike her Husband.

  63. Before anyone tries to shoot me down, I want to state the facts. Donald Trump, Melania Trump, and LeBron James are three completely different people. All of the main news sources usually do not tell the entire truth, and it does not help when Hollywood or athletes jump on board this train. I strongly recommend that people do not simply just believe whatever they hear, but actually do their research. Don't listen to one side and only one side, take the time to hear and listen to what everyone has to say.
    So my opinion. You will probably hate what I am about to say, but that is why I had to write my prelude paragraph. I am a minority in this school (probably only 1% of Dutchtown), I support Donald Trump, however, that does not mean that I agree 100% with everything he says and does. Donald Trump made that comment on Twitter questioning LeBron James' intelligence, but that was because LeBron made a comment about not meeting with Trump even if he was invited to the white house. Do I agree with what either of them said? No. I believe this could have easily been avoided if both had kept their angry thoughts to themselves. But knowing the personality of Donald Trump, he does not let people pick a fight with him without paying the price. Many of you probably did not like it when Donald Trump called North Korean Dictator Kim-Jong Un Rocketman and threatened to rain "Fire and Fury" upon his country. But a couple of months later, Trump and Kim had that summit, and North Korea is already denuclearizing. It does not help to call our president a racist and criticize everything he says and does. After all, he is only human and so are you. Nobody is perfect. Trump only wants to help. So you can help by removing stereotypes, and listening to all sides of an argument, not just your's.
    So about Melania, I must reiterate that these are three separate people. While Donald Trump is working, Melania is involved in the community. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt called Elanor Roosevelt his "Eyes and Ears." So while it seems like Trump is ignoring issues like what is happening at the border, (Issues that he did not event cause), he is hard at work at solving other problems. Life is hard as president, especially when every one is against you. As I stated before, Trump is only human. But it helps when you have other people around to help you. So even though it wasn't Donald Trump who was involved in these community events, Melania can be his messenger and give him her perspective on world issues.

  64. Lebron James is definitely making a change for children and do big things. Donald trump really shouldn't have called him out but at least acknowledge him. At the same time everyone has their opinion on something. Mrs. Trump always has some words for people instead of agreeing with her husband.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Lebron James really did help the children and Donald trump had no right to criticize Lebron with what he did. Lebron James didn't harm any one but what he did was helpful to the community.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Lebron is helping the community and trump had no right saying what he said. Lebron is definitely helping the children of Akron and trump was wrong. But then again everyone has the right to they’re own opinion.

  67. agree with LeBron because he has a freedom of speech and he can say what he wants but at the end of the day Donald Trump was wrong because Freedom of speech doesnt mean throw shade and throw hatred towards someone.
