President Donald Trump responded to LaVar Ball on Sunday via Twitter after Ball downplayed Trump's involvement in getting LiAngelo Ball and two other detained UCLA men's basketball players back to the United States last week.

"Who?" LaVar Ball, the outspoken and divisive father of LiAngelo Ball and Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, told ESPN's Arash Markazi on Friday when asked about Trump's involvement in the matter. "What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."

Later Sunday, Trump tweeted a second time, doubling down on his position.

Yes, they were detained, yes they were not allowed to leave their swanky hotel rooms, but they weren't actually in jail.

What an idiot.
