First Lady Melania Trump thinks LeBron James is “working to do good things on behalf of our next generation,” her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told the AP.

In a tweet Saturday afternoon, Jonathan Lemire said Grisham indicated the First Lady said it “looks like” James is up to good and that she is supportive of an “open dialogue about issues facing children today.”

And since her “her platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools,” the First Lady would be “open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron.”

An interesting turn of event after Friday night’s near-midnight tweet from her husband where he said James and CNN journalist Don Lemon were dumb.

Lemon interviewed James earlier this week but the segment was aired again Friday night.

The interview was about James’ $8 million I PROMISE School in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.

James’ I PROMISE School, where “Nothing is given. Everything is earned,” was in the news of late. The Lebron James Family Foundation is partnering with Akron (Ohio) Public Schools, is for “students in Akron who need it most.”

The school, the Foundation explains, is a “culmination of years of on-the-ground work and research-based interventions” funded by James’ I PROMISE program based on its ’We Are Family’ philosophy to “create a complete wraparound for its students and their families.” The school will open n sages beginning int he fall.

But the school wasn’t all they talked about and that’s what led, it appears, for Pres. Donald Trump who must have tuned in, to tweet out an attack on Lemon and James’ intelligence.

The tweet was called racist and disgraceful.

In the interview, James said “we’re at a point in America where this whole race thing has taken over …one because I think our president is trying to divide…he is, he’s tying to divide us and what I noticed over the last few months, he’s kind of used sports to divide us…”

But not so fast. Some question Melania Trump’s own positions on controversial, at best, issues her husband promotes.
