Former U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that he once intervened to break up a physical altercation that involved NBA legend Kobe Bryant, adding that the move was “probably not a smart thing to do.”
Trump’s recollection was reported on March 14, 2026. He did not provide additional details about when or where the confrontation occurred, but said he inserted himself to halt the dispute before it escalated.
“I went in and stopped it,” Trump said, acknowledging that stepping between the parties carried obvious risks. “Probably not a smart thing to do.”
No further information about the incident, the individuals involved, or its outcome was disclosed.
