Donald Trump suggests that an American basketball player should have remained in a Chinese jail because his father did not adequately kiss his ass.

So as you all probably heard these three UCLA basketball players got busted in China for shoplifting and spent some time in jail over there.

Eventually they were released and Donald Trump wanted to make sure that everybody knew that he was the one that made that happen.


So gracious, don't you think?

Anyhow one of the player's dads was interviewed about the incident yesterday, and he clearly is not a Trump fan.

Courtesy of ESPN: 

LaVar Ball downplayed his son's shoplifting incident in China, as well as President Donald Trump's involvement in getting LiAngelo Ball and two other UCLA basketball players back to the United States earlier this week. 

"Who?" LaVar Ball told ESPN on Friday, when asked about Trump's involvement in the matter. "What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."

Now that may seem a little ungrateful since Trump DID intervene on the player's behalf with Chinese president Xi Jinping, though the Chinese themselves suggested that the players were going to be released anyhow.

Courtesy of WaPo:

For their part, the Chinese government wasn’t eager to say that Xi had followed through on Trump’s request to intervene. 

“I am not aware of the details, but I believe the Chinese police would have handled the case in strict accordance with the law,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a news conference Wednesday, when asked if Xi had intervened.

Whoever is actually responsible for getting the players released is almost beside the point, because the real news is how Trump responded to not being given the credit.
Seriously?

Now keep in mind that the young man, LiAngelo Ball, already personally thanked Trump during a press conference for helping get him out, but now that his father refuses to do the same, Trump is actually suggesting that should have left the players to rot in a Chinese prison.

Damn! That is the very definition of thin skinned.

Trump does not seem to have any understanding of what is means to be a public servant and to do selfless things for his constituents.

Instead he demands that everybody applaud every simple fucking thing that he does, as if he is a one year old who successfully made his first boom boom in the big toilet.

    Personally I think China should have ignored Trump and kept the players in jail. Sick and tired of spoiled athletes and rich people like the Trumps getting away with breaking the law.

    LaVar Ball is a loud-mouth jerk. He makes idiotic and outrageous statements all the time in order to promote his sons' careers. I think Trump and Ball's personalities are very much alike.

    The kid apologized and that is what's important to me.

    Try to ignore the sideshow from Trump and LaVar - they're both dicks.

      Sick world we live in, but hey, they're out of jail and back home. They'll make some money playin' ball and waste it all on cars and blow and hookers and cribs and then be on the street in 10 years.

      China has held Americans who committed crimes there many times(usually smuggling drugs),these much more serious crimes were met with severe punishment, and the perpetrators were usually white.
      No President was successful in intervention to my knowledge, at least without sombre cow tow to the Chinese. This, however is in the description of a public servant. There should be no expected praise for performing ones duty as expected.
      That said, the Chinese had no intention of keeping those boys. They got the headlines they ranged from the incident. They realize anything more would have resulted in them displaying too heave a hand to the world. Someone explain that to the idiot and dotard!!

  6. Of course he doesn't have any concept of being a public servant. That's not what he thinks he is. He's PRESIDENT. That's the American version of dictator. He thinks he can just say it and it will be so. He just loves him those executive orders. I think he just loves the words: executive ORDERS.

    His job isn't to make life better for all Americans. It's to siphon as much public tax dollars into his own personal pockets, and if his other über wealthy oligarchs should also benefit, well that's just collateral profit. The entire tax plan is built upon how Trump can personally profit from all of the changes. Sure we lose all of our deductions but not those golf course owners, so important to our security and economy.

    No surprise. Trump is a two year old. The idiots love him because they are also two year olds. He's just like them. I've seen it over and over. Millions of petulant two year olds voted for Trump and are proud of it. I doubt this society will survive the rise of the two year olds. I hope they enjoy their mud huts. As food becomes scarcer I expect some of them will loose weight. They are such sloppy overweight ignoramuses you hope they get slimmer before their health insurance goes away because they vote for wealth care for billionaires. Can they control their urge for Twinkies? I doubt it. Trump loves these folks. They believe in pink unicorns and the rapture. Dumbest of the dumb. I'm amazed at how fat their faces and asses become. I've seen these folks (in pictures) at Walmart. They really are a different species. All flab, no brain. Sometimes they accent it with a thong. /s

  18. More off track. This is entertaining:

    "Sean Hannity just got a rejection letter for the ages.

    A producer for his Fox News show invited Gloria Deason, one of the women who have accused U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore of sexual harassment, onto the show.

    The woman’s lawyer, Paula Cobia, fired back with a blistering response posted on Twitter by IR.net’s Ed Krassenstein.

    http://www.businessinsider.com/roy-moore-paula-cobia-response-sean-hannity-show-2017-11

    "Ms Moni:

    Thank you for the invite. Please tell Sean Hannity that I would never submit a survivor of abuse to the inevitable on-camera bullying or persecution by him. Mr. Hannity chose to believe and support Roy Moore immediately after learning about the numerous accusations against him describing sexual assault, child molestation, and harassment.

    Mr. Hannity has belittled, defamed and engaged in an on-air intimidation campaign against the victims of Mr. Moore. He is totally uninterested in discovering the truth. He gave Mr. Moore a lazy, softball interview which his own panel did not find credible. In fact, the panel mocked Mr. Moore over his inconsistencies and lies. It is laughable to assume that Mr. Hannity is capable of conducting a fair and balanced interview. He is not know for journalistic integrity. He is merely seeking an opportunity to publicly attack and further defame Mr. Moore's vulnerable victims. Well that's not happening. Not on my watch.

    Respectfully,
    Paula Cobia
    Attorney for Gloria Deason"

    " In his NBA debut as a Laker, Lonzo scored just six points on 3-12 shooting. And yet afterward, LaVar told anyone who would listen that Lonzo had had a great game. It was beyond bravado; it was beyond truth-stretching. This was a person who was Trumpian in his detachment from reality and utter lack of humility. Like Trump, Ball’s mouth often becomes the story, as the sports media endlessly fusses over his asinine statements."
    " Trump was implementing a core part of his strategy as president: wherever possible be seen in the position of putting black people in their place, especially in a way that stokes the culture wars. The idea is for Trump to act outraged by something a black person has done, have it be signal-boosted by Fox News and the far-right media, and then Trump can use his bully pulpit to put them in line, thus making him both the victim and the one to clean it up—quickly! " BANNON>
    “The Democrats, the longer they talk about identity politics, I got ’em. I want them to talk about racism every day.”
    "Bannon’s—and by extension Trump’s—mission, it seems, is to repel white people from the Democrats and move them closer to the GOP, like a modern-day version of Nixon’s “Southern strategy.” See, Trump’s base wants a wall and an end to the “nightmare” that is Obamacare, sure, but they want cultural victories as well. They want to
    “Make America Great Again”
    When Trump is seen as standing up to unruly blacks, he’s giving them those cultural victories they crave."
    "When he spoke to China’s president about this, he did what he’s supposed to do. Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be for him to have failed to help them? But then he pulled out his phone and made it all about himself, demanding the boys thank him for getting them out, that they kiss his ring. It was so classless, so patronizing, so belittling, and so much about him. And it was so insulting. There he was once again talking down to black citizens, outraged at their behavior, and vowing to put them in their place. He tried this with Obama, the Central Park 5, the cast of Hamilton, Colin Kaepernick and the NFL kneelers, Jemele Hill, and so on and so forth. Black people are the neck that Trump stands on to seem taller to white people." He believes the war was foisted upon him by former President Barack Obama and other Democrats—and he is determined to win, current and former aides said,” reported The New York Times in late September."
    "hink about it: Trump is a teetotaler who mouths off like a drunk. And you can now add this to the list of the most disgusting, derelict, unpresidential things Trump’s ever said: that he should have left American citizens to rot in a foreign prison because one of the young men’s fathers was insufficiently grateful."
