I wonder what was so bad in the alternate timeline America that those time travelers had to come back and intervene so that Trump won this election.

Trump fires back at LaVar Ball for saying he did nothing to help UCLA players in China

UCLA basketball players smartly
shoplift in China.

Trump gets them released over a piece of the most delicious chocolate cake you've ever seen.

They don't thank him. So he makes a big deal out of it. So they thank him. So he says congrats, don't let it derail you.

End of story?

It probably would be but for some reason Ball's father seems intent on minimizing Trump's actions. But also minimizing his son's.

Trump was responding early Sunday afternoon to Ball's comment that Trump had done little to help with the release of LiAngelo Ball and his teammates after their arrest for shoplifting while on a team trip to China. "Who?" Ball told ESPN's Arash Markazi when asked about Trump's involvement in the matter. "What was he over there (on the Asian trip) for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out
As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine," Ball said. "I'm happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.' I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses. My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn't define him. Now if you can go back and say when he was 12 years old he was shoplifting and stealing cars and going wild, then that's a different thing.



I Understand that ball is apparently not a fan of trump. No big deal.
But your adult son with plenty of money is shoplifting in China? Thats not nothing. He seems to minimize that in a sort of bizarre way. It doesn't seem he realizes how bad stealing and being put in Chinese jail could be without outside intervention.

Stealing cars at 12 years old is the floor for behavior required for his condemnation?


Or maybe it is nothing. Just a little shoplifting, boys will be boys?

FRAT:
Trump wants to be praised and worshiped for doing the thing Presidents usually do.
Daddy Ball doesn't want to worship & praise Trump for his son's shithead behaviour.
Trump's feelings are hurt, therefore, tweeter fingers.

They're basketball players. They would have done no jail time in China. At best they'd be mysteriously agreeing to do some clinics in Suzhou.

Interesting question I was contemplating the other day. Let’s say the China government chose to fine the players or set a bail price. Would they have lost amateur status if they were helped at all financially.

Hard to believe that 3 tall black men in China would be watched by security people. Maybe they thought they were blending in.
