President Donald Trump on Sunday unleashed a Twitter tirade against the father of one of the UCLA basketball players arrested on suspicion of shoplifting while in China.
Call it a technical foul for traveling.
President Donald Trump on Sunday fired off a Twitter tirade against the outspoken father of one of the UCLA basketball players arrested on suspicion of shoplifting while touring in China.
Trump calling the man «unaccepting» of his favor and adding that he should have left the players in jail.
“Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!” Trump said on Twitter Sunday morning.
The Twitter tantrum comes in response to former basketball player LaVar Ball brushing off any role Trump had in his son’s release from a Chinese prison.
«Who? What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing,» Ball told ESPN on Friday. «Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.»
Balls’s son LiAngelo, as well as Jalen Hill and Cody Riley were detained in Hangzhou, about 100 miles southwest of Shanghai, on shoplifting charges a day before Trump arrived in China for his Asia tour.
