Donald Trump won the 2024 election and became the 47th president of the United States, beating Kamala Harris by a large margin. His win surprised many, especially since Harris had support from stars like LeBron James and Stephen Curry. Following Trump’s victory, King James took to Instagram to break his silence with an emotional response.
LeBron James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, publicly supported Kamala Harris for presidential chair, but she lost to Trump. “What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS,” James said on social media a week ago while endorsing Kamala Harris.
After Trump’s victory, LeBron shared an emotional and cryptic post on Instagram promising to “protect” his daughter. The post reads, “HEAVY ON MY HEART & MIND THIS AM MY PRINCESS 👸🏾!! PROMISE TO PROTECT YOU WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE AND MORE!! WE DONT NEED THEIR HELP!”
LeBron has always shared his open thoughts, especially about politics and Donald Trump. He even called Trump a “bum” in 2017. But based on his recent post, it’s hard to tell if LeBron is happy with Trump’s win.
Fans react to LeBron James’ cryptic post
LeBron James’s cryptic post about protecting his daughter left many fans confused. People understood that Kamala Harris had been advocating for women’s rights, including abortion rights, but this didn’t mean LeBron’s daughter would be at risk with Trump as president. So, the post sparked mixed reactions.
User @mattlechner13 commented, “Protect her from Diddy 💯,” while @victorcruz said, “Girl dad energy.” Another user, @canditotraininghq, wrote, “What a strange post. And a strange line of reasoning.” Supportive comments, such as “I feel you!” from @laudiejwatson, also popped up.
Meanwhile, some disagreed with James also, such as @big_bob95, who said, “Man stop acting like your daughter’s life is in danger… it was in more danger with the other side man…. They letting kids do whatever they want and that ain’t good bro… be fr Bron.”
@john.mccombie added, “You’re safer with Trump as president,” and @alloflebron shared a humorous take, “Nobody’s coming for your daughter bro😭. Protecting her is keeping men out of girls’ bathrooms 🤷🏽♂️.”
