During a media session on Wednesday, Steve Kerr, known for his frequent criticism of Donald Trump, shared his thoughts on the former president's re-election. The Golden State Warriors were in Boston to face the Celtics, but Kerr made sure to address the current political climate before talking about the upcoming game.
Kerr, a firm believer in democracy, acknowledged that the American people had spoken and chosen Trump as their leader for the next four years. He expressed his desire for both Trump and the country to do well during this time. However, Kerr's sarcastic tone soon emerged as he poked fun at Trump's refusal to accept his loss in the 2020 election, which ultimately led to the shocking events of January 6th, 2021 at the Capitol.
"It's a relief that this time everything went smoothly," Kerr joked. "It's amazing how every election is deemed valid, except for the one four years ago." Just two days before this media session, Kerr had warned against Trump's claims of election fraud, which had caused chaos and division among the American people.
In addition to his views on politics, Kerr also discussed his coaching experience with Team USA, with whom he recently won an Olympic gold medal in Paris. He addressed some of the issues that may have affected voters' support for Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris, such as the U.S.'s involvement in foreign wars and the impact of global economics on citizens' daily lives.
"It's a complex world we live in," Kerr stated. "I'm aware that I am privileged and live in a bubble, but I want what's best for our country and hope that Trump can deliver that."
As the conversation shifted to basketball, Kerr was asked about his message to the team in terms of refocusing on the game. "Let's make America great again and beat the Celtics," Kerr quipped, referring to Trump's well-known campaign slogan. With a renewed focus on the game, the Warriors were ready to take on their toughest challenge yet in the Celtics, and Kerr was determined to lead his team to victory.
