Trump doubled down in his mounting feud with the father of a UCLA basketball player detained for shoplifting in Shanghai, saying Wednesday that he was an “ungrateful fool”.
Trump again raised his complaint that LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of LiAngelo Ball, hasn’t given him proper credit for the release of his son and two other UCLA basketball players from detention in China.
In a series of pre-dawn tweets from his Florida vacation home, Trump said: “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,” he said, referencing the flamboyant boxing promoter whom Trump once saluted as “a phenomenal person” despite a conviction for manslaughter.
