Donald Trump compared himself to Giannis Antetokounmpo, claiming that he has as much… “Greek” in him as the Milwaukee Bucks superstar.
During his latest speech that took place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin Friday (1/11), Trump began commenting about the Fiserv Forum where the event was hosted, the same arena the Bucks use as home court. He then questioned who between him and Giannis has more “Greek” in them, in a comment with obvious racist undertones.
“Your team is very good. I would say the Greek is a seriously good player. And tell me, who has more Greek in him, the Greek or me? I think we have about the same. He’s a great player, maybe the best player in the NBA actually. He’s supposed to be a very good guy too,” Trump said.
Trump had referred to Antetokounmpo as “the Greek” before in previous visits to Milwaukee, without mentioning his name. He was apparently also unaware that the Bucks are 1-4 in the NBA regular season and not really “very good” right now.
