Everyone has heard about Donald Trump calling out LeBron James for practicing his golf swing during the National Anthem, and now, the president might've followed suit.

At the end of a rally in Ohio, Trump began dancing as “Y.M.C.A.” played over the venue's speakers. Before breaking out his signature moves, he did a golf swing motion.

After briefly swinging, he began dancing like he normally does. Now, Trump, who owns various golf courses, is an avid golfer. Maybe he was just practicing his swing.

It's also possible that he was taking a swipe at James, who practiced his golf swing during the National Anthem before the Philadelphia 76ers' Opening Night game against the New York Knicks.

After the moment went viral, Trump responded on his Truth Social account. He demanded James, whom he called a “total disgrace,” apologize for his actions.

“While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! I said right from the beginning that he’s no good, a TOTAL DISGRACE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!”

LeBron was asked about the president's comments after the Sixers' next game, saying, “Must have been a slow news day at the office.”

His actions have caused a stir. NBA legend Charles Barkley called James' actions “very disrespectful.” However, he doesn't listen to Trump.

“I don't pay what President Trump [says] any attention, first and foremost, at all, but I thought that was very disrespectful, practicing your golf swing in the middle of the Anthem,” he said. “I always stand for the Anthem; I just think it's important. We live in the greatest country ever.

“You can always protest, but I think you have to be very careful with the Anthem. I'm always gonna stand for the Anthem,” Barkley added.
