Athletes Beat Donald Trump in the Sport of Trash Talk

Related Topics: Donald Trump

This week at the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as "Rocket Man." Last night he called NFL players who kneel in protest during the national anthem "sons of bitches." This morning he tweeted at Stephen Curry, an athlete pretty much everyone admires, calling him in effect "hesitant" and disinviting him from a ceremonial White House visit for the NBA champs, which some have said is the equivalent of telling the prom date who clearly doesn't want to go to the dance with you that you're not interested.
