All liberals, shut up. Trump is right, you filthy hypocrites.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Mr President. You did the right thing. Don’t let that ingrate get to you. He’s just showing American what the left really is.

People recognize the truth - which is why there’s 190k likes on the tweet. That’s what loser media elitists like the author of this article don’t get. They never will get it because their thought process is so messed up.

It’s now more :)

Perhaps the Chinese government will give a pass to all who shoplift from the store. That would be fair payback. Or better yet, maybe they will throw dad in jail for some small infraction that carries a long sentence.

The dad’s tee shirt company was founded in 2016, probably using some of his older son’s NBA signing bonus.

Dads just trying to get some free advertising and street cred for his new company.

Not sure this will be a winner for him

There are times Trump needs to shut his pie hole. He did a good thing, the father is a complete A-hole about it, everyone already knows that. Trump didn’t even need to respond.
This is the crap that gets him in trouble with people.

[surrey]

The people that govern them think they’re even better.

[vooch]

gotta love Trump when he is in bar room brawl mode.

[JBW1949]

That’s true....

[Savage Beast]

Like son, like father.

[TigersEye]

Think I’ll slide on over to Twitter and like and retweet it.

They sort of thanked POTUS when they arrived back from China. Only one of them has welshed on that THANK YOU, via his father. We’ve heard nothing from the other two. They’ve been benched, or worse by UCLA. I’d think current comportment and ‘tude would affect their future re the team.

[gaijin]

A worthy post and news-story, but they’re all missing the point:

Why would these 3 elite American athletes overseas think they’d get away with that in the FIRST PLACE..?

***Because they’d been CODDLED and had a litany of excuses made for their bad behavior DURING THEIR ENTIRE LIVES.**

And it’s the same with almost everyone in their hoods; they’re all held to very low expectations, which they absolutely live up to.

As double-negative using, pants pulled-downing, incoherent LOSERS.

[datricker]

I disagree - At a dinner party some liberals started talking about the 3 ball players and said president Trump had nothing to do with the release, rather it was Jack Ma from Alibaba. I looked at them and said no actually your wrong the president intervened on their behalf, just go watch the press conference.

Trump haters will suspend reality at a drop of the hat if it means believing something negative about president Trump. Things like this reinforce the fact he is actively putting Americans first even if later they turn out to be losers.

Besides nothing president Trump can do can win these people over. A Trumps got to Tweet!

Didn't get him in trouble with me...

Trump should make a deal to outsource our long term jailbirds to North Korea.

[Newbomb Turk]

I love President Trump ! MY President ! But on this one I gotta say, welcome to the Mr. Obvious show.

Long time listener, first time caller.

Would have done these "Ballers" good.

Bet $500 you will see one of them in the crime pages in the future if not all three.

[JayGalt]

I certainly hope so.

Thieving is totally acceptable in the hood. Hood mentality.
