Popovich’s successful coaching career, where he led his team to five NBA championships, has often been overshadowed by his rapid, anger-fueled Trump Derangement Syndrome and woke leftist rants.
In October of 2024, Popovich transformed an NBA press conference into a tirade against Donald Trump.
“So he’s pathetic. He’s small. He’s a whiner,” said Popovich.
He has made a habit of railing against white people and the United States, including a diatribe against Christopher Columbus filled with dramatic pauses and righteous white liberal indignation.
“I am a little confused about our city….and why it’s Indigenous People’s Day/Columbus Day….Columbus Day…Columbus? I mean, he initiated a new world genocide….that’s what he did.”
In 2017, The Gateway Pundit reported Popovich was triggered by President Trump after he called for a boycott of the NFL because of their national anthem protests; he blamed racism, naturally.
Coach Woke also took aim at the Second Amendment, where he used a pregame press conference in 2023 to slam lawmakers and call for stricter gun control. He even asked reporters whether any of them were carrying a gun before suggesting the Second Amendment is a “myth.”
