Trump lashes out at Ball, says he is a 'Ungrateful fool!'

Source: The Hill

President Trump early Wednesday morning lashed out at the father of one of three UCLA basketball players arrested for shoplifting earlier this month, referring to LaVar Ball a "poor man's version of Don King" and an "Ungrateful fool!"

"It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think..," the president tweeted.

"...LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you," Trump added. "But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!"

But I think it is important that people try to get under Trump's skin to show how petty and insane he is. Oh, and racist, his bigotry is showing.

If there is any justice in this world, he'll end up behind bars for treason.

Their coop at 1600 is getting dirtier and dirtier and no one is there to clean it...they just slop around in their excrement and voided liquid not caring or noticing just how nasty and disgusting as human beings they ALL are.
