In an interview with Fox News, former US President Donald Trump weighed in on one of the biggest debates in sports: who is the better basketball player, Michael Jordan or LeBron James.

"I only like people that like me. I would say Michael Jordan all the way," Trump said. The statement has caused a stir on social media, as Trump has often made controversial remarks about athletes.
