J.R. Smith has been in the news a lot of the past few days after video surfaced of him beating the crap out of a protester who allegedly damaged his truck.
“I just want y’all to know right now before you all see this s— somewhere else,” Smith said on one of his Instagram stories. “One of these little m—–f—— white boys didn’t know where he was going and broke my f—— window in my truck.”
“I chased him down and whooped his a–,” Smith continued. “So if the footage come out and y’all see it, I chased him down and whooped his a–. He broke my window. This ain’t no hate crime.”
The free agent guard took to social media recently and made the news in an entirely different way when he posted his strong dislike for President Donald Trump.
“Hate is a very strong word but I really HATE this president”

On Monday, President Donald Trump declared himself “the president of law and order” and threatened to deploy the United States military to American cities to quell a rise of violent protests. At thew same time that he was speaking, a split screen showed military police and law enforcement clashing with protesters at Lafayette Park.
Those peaceful demonstrators were cleared so Trump could walk across the park to St. John’s Episcopal Church to take a picture.
“We have the greatest country in the world,” Trump declared. “We’re going to keep it safe.”
