The topic of biological men competing in women\u2019s sports led Trump to repeat his mockery of James.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d be the greatest women\u2019s basketball coach in history,\u201d Trump said. \u201cBecause I don\u2019t like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. I\u2019d go up to LeBron James and say \u2018LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what I\u2019d love you to do is star on my team that I\u2019m building up. I will have the greatest team in history, they will never lose, nobody will come within 70 points of this team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to change that and we have to make it okay to talk about it,\u201d he said, referencing fairness in women\u2019s sports. \u201cThe young lady I was talking about is afraid to talk about. She\u2019s shunned and she\u2019s canceled when she talks about it. This is crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>WATCH:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s mockery of James competing as a hypothetical transgender woman originated in July, 2021, at a \u201cProtect Our Elections\u201d rally in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody said that if LeBron James ever decided to get the operation, how would he be on the court?\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll be honest though, look, we all like to win. If I were a coach, I tell you, I wouldn\u2019t be talking to too many women as we know women, I\u2019d be getting some of these people that \u2026 they\u2019re women.\u201d <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/02\/donald-trump-lebron-james-wnba-womens-sports-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Trump Suggests LeBron James Should Go Dominate The WNBA At Rally)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The former president <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CaliforniaPanda\/status\/1520913869253890050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1520913869253890050%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdailycaller.com%2F2022%2F05%2F02%2Fdonald-trump-lebron-james-wnba-womens-sports-rally%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">called<\/a> on the NBA star to dominate the Women\u2019s National Basketball Team (WNBA) during a May rally in Greenwood, Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll say this to LeBron James, who I don\u2019t like very much,\u201d the former president said at a Greenwood, Nebraska, rally. \u201cLeBron, did you ever have thoughts about going woman?
