President Donald Trump is asked about the ongoing debate over Michael Jordan versus LeBron James and responds that he prefers Jordan. According to the reports, Trump says he believes Jordan is better and cites his own personal view of the players. In both accounts, the exchange centers on Trump’s comparison of the two athletes during a discussion about who is the greatest. Trump also includes a comment suggesting he only likes people who “like” him, a line repeated across coverage of the remarks. The reports describe the question posed to Trump and his answer naming Jordan as his choice, rather than providing an in-depth breakdown of on-court accomplishments. The coverage is limited to the president’s comments on the debate and does not add further details such as the context of where the remarks were made or whether he elaborated on his reasoning beyond his preference and the “like me” remark.
