There are so many things to call President Donald Trump.
On Saturday morning, LeBron James found the perfect one. The NBA star called Trump “U bum” over the president’s rescinded invitation for Steph Curry to visit the White House, which came only after Curry stated that he didn’t want to go anyway.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!

It’s so simple, yet so perfect. Who needs to curse out the president when “U bum” gets it across so well?

at least the Trump era brought the until-now-criminally-underused insult of “bum” back

I don’t think I would ever recover from being called a bum by LeBron James

everything is bad but if “bum” comes back into vogue as an insult that’s at least one tiny victory

Part of what’s so beautiful is the proximity of the “bum” to the “therefore,” it’s like getting insulted by a flawless equation

Today was the day LeBron James truly became President.
