distracting the silly press

[simpson96]

LaVar doesn’t understand...when you try to heckle the guy with the microphone, the guy with the microphone always wins.

[ClearCase_guy]

“Ungrateful fool” is exactly right.

Trump always wins these twitter kerfuffles because what he says is just correct, and people see that it is correct. The media pretends to be outraged, but everyone recognizes that the media is just uncomfortable with the concept of Truth.

[FlipWilson]

Poor man’s Don King!!! Trump should drop the mic after that and just move on. I don’t see how he tops it.

[gaijin]

LaVar is helping Trump, though unintentional lying.

This is something flashy and Blinky that the media will understand and love, meanwhile Trump can continue doing things of substance behind the scenes.

LaVar Ball gets enormous amounts of free publicity and name recognition out of this and grows his "Big Baller Brand" of athletic shoes - no advertising agency in the world could give him this much exposure in the national and international media, and even trying would cost him millions. He's getting this all for free, and his net profit from Trump's attention is going to be huge. If Ball wasn't grateful to Trump for getting his son out of jail in China, he should be eternally grateful for the enormous service Trump is doing him by paying attention to him. The Kardashians must be tearing their hair out with envy at this point.

It's hard to see what Trump gets out of this - there are far more worthy targets for the attention of the POTUS.

This should keep the leftwing media chasing the laser dot for a day or two.

More like small baller!

What's amazing to me is that 6'5" black basketball players didn't think that they would stand out in a Chinese store.

Were they trying to blend?

I'm sorry but that level of utter cluelessness deserves some jail time.

[cincinnati65]

I watched the interview with Ball, and I have to say.....Trump owes Don King an apology....

[Uncle Sam 911]

Lessons learned Mr President, ignore the thugs in jail next time please.

[Envisioning]

....“ungrateful fool”

Ouch! Succinct and to the point. LOL.

[Jim from C-Town]

Tweeting is ok, however, Push through the darn tax bill. Get something through congress!

[Lionheartusa1]

It’s not hard to understand why Lavar,s son is a shoplifter or perhaps worse . Levar never addresses why his stupid son was arrested for stealing a $700.00 pair of sunglasses as if it were no big deal . We send student athletes to foreign countries as goodwill ambassadors and they totally embarrass us instead by committing crimes abroad . Nice huh Lavar ,, you dim wit .

Trump was right he should have left them there .

[tumblindice]

The presidency is a bully pulpit.

[onedoug]

Balls has indicated that it’s okay to steal his stuff.

[Socon-Econ]

Trump made his point well with the first tweet. He should have moved on to more important matters — such as his legislative agenda.

[Lopeover]

Ending black entitlement privilege.

[kanawa]

LOL

[ScottinVA]

Not sure why President Trump is bothering to respond to a cheap attention whore like Lavar Ball. That worthless punkass doesn’t deserve a nanosecond of Trump’s time.
