On Wednesday morning President Trump renewed his attack against the father of a college basketball player released from China after being arrested for shoplifting – calling him a “poor man’s version of Don King” and an “ungrateful fool” for not giving him credit for intervening.
“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!” Trump tweeted early Wednesday.
Trump then took a personal shot at the father, calling him “just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair.”
The president continued: “Just think 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. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!”
