LaVar Ball still refuses to thank Donald Trump, cracks jokes (Wanted them flown home on Air Force 1)
The New York Daily News ^ | November 21, 2017 | Ari Gilberg

Thanksgiving is around the corner, but LaVar Ball isn't exactly in the thankful spirit.

The outspoken basketball dad sat down with Chris Cuomo on “CNN Tonight” Monday evening to discuss his son LiAngelo’s recent shoplifting arrest in China and LaVar’s insistence that he does not need to thank Donald Trump for his apparent help in freeing LiAngelo and the other two UCLA player’s arrested.

“It just doesn't make any sense why you didn't thank him,” Cuomo said.

“Did you thank the doctor for bringing you into this world?” Ball asked.

Cumo chuckled, unable to respond.

“Well you better go back and find him, ‘cause you lucky,” continued Ball, laughing.

Trump went on a Twitter tirade Sunday shortly after Ball tried to downplay the president’s involvement in his son’s release.

“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,” Trump tweeted....

I watched balls interview on CNN. What an ignorant asshole. He founded some sort of business that made money ? I find it hard to believe as he sounded extremely stupid and arrogant. If he was successful in business it was probably a front company to launder drug money .

I think Trump should send him the bill.

As Diamond and Silk pointed out (if you don’t know who they are, they Trump’s most loyal black supporters and spokeswomen. Honestly, they’re his best spokesmen period)

Think of Otto Warmbier coming back to his parents brain dead from No. Korea. Obama never went to fetch him. :(

I would say this if it were my own son.

President Trump should not have intervened. The chump broke the law in China. There was no international incident. He is no more important than the probably 100’s of US citizens that get arrested overseas each year. Lavar Ball should have had to pay “Tea Money”to the Chinese officials to see his son and LIKE JACKIE CHAN’s SON he should have gone to jail.

The kind of karmic justice the Ball guy is going to get is likely to be painful.

At this point, the way he keeps doubling down on his ungrateful stupidity, I hope it hurts a LOT.

You don’t put thugs on Air Force One.

I wish he left them there.

Evidently that excuse for a father fails to understand what a YUGE PRIORITY GRATITUDE IS to Almighty God Yehovah.

Acts like one of the clueless airhead liberal idiots.

Entitlement mentality. Trump was just doing his job, like a delivery doctor, because the job of the President is to let every shoplifter off the hook.

Sad. Really, really sad.

Trump is probably best off dropping this and let the Balls screw themselves at a later date. Because you know it’ll happen.

LaVar Ball is reveling in this. Hopefully the President realizes that now and decides to ignore him.

The sooner the American people get it straight in their heads that Barack Hussein (Hate America) Obama was an “Enemy of the State”, bent on totally destroying the American Republic, and with it, its Freedom, Liberty, Opportunity, Equality and Individualism, the better off our great nation will be. MAGA!!!

Someone needs to tell Lavar that a basketball team can’t win a championship when 3 of its black starters get arrested and sent to Chinese prison for stealing.
