(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – US First Lady Melania Trump has backed basketball player LeBron James, hours after her husband made insulting remarks about him on Twitter.
James had said in an interview that Mr Trump was divisive and had emboldened racists.
In response, Mr Trump questioned James’ intelligence, saying it was not easy to make the NBA player “look smart”.
However, Mrs Trump’s spokeswoman said James was “working to do good things” with a school in his Ohio hometown.
She said Mrs Trump wanted “to have an open dialogue about issues facing children”.
