You say that as if you think that the combination of LaVar Ball and the (despised) media will turn this into a net negative for Trump.
A majority of people despise the media. LaVar Ball being a media whore doesn't hurt Trump. It probably helps him.
I think so too. Listening to talk radio out of Chicago; people agree that Mr. Ball is "out of bounds," so to speak; completely ungrateful. LaVar Ball has probably helped the President more than hurt him, especially in the African-American community, who love their children and would not want them to face a decade in a Chinese jail. Mr. Ball comes across as a complete moron.
