CNN's Don Lemon answers Trump: 'Who's the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages?'
CNN's Don Lemon on Saturday pushed back on President Trump's Friday night tweet labeling him and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James "dumb." Lemon answered with a link to a story about James' recent opening of an innovative new public school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, as well as a question for Trump:
James himself so far has ignored the president, instead sharing a post from his Akron school. "Let’s get it kids!!" he wrote. "Love you guys."
