Trump Fires Back at LaVar Ball: ‘I Should Have Left Them in Jail!’

President Donald Trump responded on Sunday to LaVar Ball, the father of one of the UCLA basketball players released from China after being accused of shoplifting, who recently questioned the president’s role in securing the player’s safe return to the U.S.

The president tweeted that Ball is “unaccepting” of what he did for his son, LiAngelo Ball, adding that because of that he should have left the college students in the Chinese jail.

Many reporters and media folk on Twitter appeared dismayed by the president’s statement:

Others were concerned Trump was attempting to distract the press from covering Republican’s shaky tax reform efforts:

When asked by ESPN about the president’s role in getting his son released from China, Ball responded, “Who?”:

“What was he over there 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. 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.”

Following their release, the president initially demanded the UCLA basketball players to thank him publicly for helping to return them home.

“I would also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they provided as well,“ Ball’s son said in response. ”I am grateful to be back home, and I will never make a mistake like this again. I am extremely sorry for those who I let down.”

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Image
Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...

It’s no wonder liberal heads exploded. President Donald Trump’s turn as grand marshal of the Daytona 500 had plenty of Americans talking on Sunday – whether they were in Florida for the race or watching it at home. And in an interview with Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” on Monday, former Secret Service Agent and outspoken commentator Dan Bongino could barely restrain himself from laughing at the liberal reaction. “You want to talk about liberal heads exploding, just look at this amalgamation of things in this pot,” Bongino said. “You had patriotism. You had fast cars. You had American muscle. You had pride, love of America, President Trump. I mean, all these things liberals can’t stand. This was just like a great day. “And the singing of the national anthem beforehand. This was such a phenomenal event.” Dan Bongino: 'Liberal heads exploded' watching Trump at Daytona 500 https://t.co/qdjdcLIGxO — Jimmy Lee (@CEOJimmyLee) February 17, 2020 Naturally, what sane people t...
