During his speech at the Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit on Saturday, former President Donald Trump suggested that basketball player LeBron James could play basketball as a female.
Trump said that he would be the greatest basketball coach of all time.
I don't like him but I would ask him if he ever thought of becoming a woman. I want to have you on my team. I would like to have you on our team. It's so crazy what's going on.

The former president made a joke at the expense of the athletes. He wants a ban on trans women competing in sports.
Trump made similar comments about the possibility of James getting sex re-assignment surgery.
James has never said that he might be a trans person.
The former president has been at odds with the basketball player for some time, calling James "racist" and "divisive" after he responded to the police killing of a teenager.
James accused Trump of using sports to divide people during his time in office.
