To Portland Trail Blazers star CJ McCollum, Donald Trump does, in fact, bring people together — in their apparent dislike of him.

The Blazers guard retweeted a video shared by Rex Chapman showing folks in Philadelphia dancing in the streets as the polls show Joe Biden closing in on the presidency on Friday morning, thanks in large part to the votes in Philly.

“A lot of folks have become United bc we collectively dislike trump. This brings me joy,” CJ McCollum wrote.

McCollum, like so many other NBA players and athletes, hasn't hid his feelings about President Donald Trump in the past. On Thursday, he laughed at the notion of Trump demanding a recount in Wisconsin.

When Trump attempted to stage an indoor rally in Tusla, Oklahoma on Juneteeth, McCollum called the president a “sick man.”

“As African American men, we feel like we have a responsibility,” CJ McCollum said in the interview. “I just want to encourage people to continue to go out and vote. I think that’s big…The election is coming soon, and we have a chance to drive and make real change.”
