Instead, Trump is now the first person to win the elections after a defeat since former President Grover Cleveland and is scheduled to become the 47th president on January 20.

Kerr spoke to reporters Wednesday before his team’s game against the Boston Celtics, opting to take the high road.

“I believe in democracy. I think the American people spoke and voted for Trump. I want him to succeed over the next four years. I want our country to do well,” Kerr said.

However, Kerr then made a sly joke about Trump’s election fraud claims four years ago, which was not well received.

“I’m just grateful there was no fraud this time. Last time, all those illegal immigrants crossing the border, raping and murdering people and then voting six times, it was unfortunate.” , Kerr said.

Social media was not thrilled with his mention of rape and immigrants.

“Steve Kerr should be ashamed of himself. Laken Riley and other innocent Americans were raped and killed by illegal immigrants…How deaf can you be?” said a user.

“No, that second paragraph was unbalanced.” I added another one.

Another said Kerr’s comments were “absolutely disgusting” and “the American people should give him the justice he deserves.”

“I believe in democracy. I believe in the will of the people. I will do everything I can to support my country and our government. I only want the best for us. It’s a complex world,” Kerr added . “There are a lot of interesting things, between the wars abroad, the global economy that has turned everything upside down, in terms of what it means for our citizens and their daily lives. I am well aware that I live in a bubble, and I’m one of the luckiest people in the world, so I want what’s best for us. I hope Trump can give us that.”

Kerr was asked what his message was to the team and he gave Trump’s motto while trying to keep it strictly basketball.

“I just told them in our meeting this morning, ‘Let’s make America great again and beat the Celtics.'”
