Donald Trump is popping back at LaVar Ball after the Big Baller Brand honcho said 45 didn’t have anything to do with bringing his son LiAngelo Ball back from China after shoplifting. Receipts inside…
A Trump-Ball beef?! Christmas def came early.
When the three UCLA basketball players made it back to the US from China after the shoplifting scandal, Donald Trump made sure to hop on Twitter to beg for an apology. He ended up getting one. But, LiAngelo Ball’s father LaVar Ball had something to say about it.
The Big Baller Brand honcho downplayed Trump’s involvement in bringing his UCLA freshmen son LiAngelo Ball and his teammates Cody Riley and Jalen Hill, during a conversation with ESPN:
"Who?" LaVar Ball had told ESPN 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."
You'll recall, the UCLA basketball team left China on a Saturday after their game, leaving LiAngelo, Cody and Jalen behind for questioning.
Daddy Ball continued:
"As long as my boy's back here, I'm fine. I'm happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.' I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses. My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn't define him. Now if you can go back and say when he was 12 years old he was shoplifting and stealing cars and going wild, then that's a different thing.<,/p>
Well, in true 45 fashion, Trump hopped on Twitter to rip into LaVar, tweeting:
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. I should have left them in jail!

No, what you should be doing is running the country instead of responding to nonsense on Twitter.
