Your President Was Up At 4:00 This Morning Tweeting Out Self-Serving Drivel
What else could be the first thing President Trump thinks of in the middle of the night , other than how to renew a WWF type feud with the egomaniac father of a trio of young basketball players, and restoking his feud with the NFL ?

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..

...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!

The NFL is now thinking about a new idea - keeping teams in the Locker Room during the National Anthem next season. That’s almost as bad as kneeling! When will the highly paid Commissioner finally get tough and smart? This issue is killing your league!.....

This Thanksgiving, Trump Wants Black Athletes to Be More Thankful
All the president is asking for is a little bit of gratitude. Is that really too much to ask? When a country has done this much for a person ? When the most powerful government on planet Earth has gone above and beyond to advance that person’s interests ? Is it unreasonable to expect that said person might curb his sense of entitlement for a couple days, in celebration of Thanksgiving?
Alas, two days without complaining about trivial nonsense was, apparently, an unreasonable request. And so, the president had no choice but tweet about how LaVar Ball has yet to thank him for single-handedly freeing his son — along with two other UCLA basketball players — from a Chinese prison.
Previously, upon discovering that Ball was not a fan of his presidency, Trump tweeted that he should have left all three of the American basketball players to rot in the prison of a foreign, authoritarian regime. What’s the point of helping your constituents if you can’t even appreciate the congrats ?
Anyhow, for some reason, tweeting about how LaVar Ball reminds him of Don King reminded the president of ungrateful NFL players. Over the past two seasons, some African-American football players have taken to kneeling during the national anthem, a gesture intended to remind spectators of the need to reform America’s discriminatory systems of policing and criminal justice. This has caused much consternation among those who believe that black athletes should be grateful that (white) America allowed them to ascend to the top of our nation’s most ruthless meritocracy (after expropriating untold wealth from their ancestors, locking their older relatives out of wealth creation through overtly discriminatory housing policies , etc., etc. …) — including, of course, the president. In response, the NFL is reportedly considering reverting back to the pre-2009 policy of playing the national anthem while players are still in the locker room.
Trump, for one, finds this most unsatisfactory. It isn’t enough for black players to be denied the opportunity to protest racial inequality in front of the massive audience their talents attract — they must also be forced to affirm their uncomplicated pride in the United States, every working Sunday, under penalty of unemployment.
In other news, Trump’s Justice Department is refusing to provide guidance to police departments that are actively looking for help in combating discriminatory practices and preventing the use of excessive force. The administration argues that such efforts to combat the routine violation of nonwhite people’s constitutional rights are impediments to enforcing “the rule of law.”
Try " Trump Wants ALL Athletes to Be More Thankful !"
I'm sure you noticed, there were "White Athletes" trying the kneeling thing, including "White Owners".
Trump and the American People (All Races) are Winning ! Notice the dwindling of who kneels now.
The "Stupid" protests got what it deserved.
Oh....and by the way.....They weren't "Young basketball players".......They were "THIEVES" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were thieves who were allowed to leave China. And, I suppose they don't even recognize the severity of their actions. They never will!
Mr. Ball is more worried about how much money his sons can make for him, than he is about thieving ways.
True, but that's not the issue now.
The whole Ball situation reminds me of when the Williams sisters were coming up. They had a crackpot Dad as well. i was really glad when they found a way to keep him out of their business.
They really began flourish after that. This guy is not doing his kids any favors by acting the way he is.
After the Dad's incoherent rant....one of his other sons proclaimed...."I'm Dead" !
Thoughts of black athletes keep President Trump awake at night.
How to maintain his political base? Hmmmmm.
Funny thing is the only ones that are bringing up race are people like you and other liberals. I wonder why. Well not really you all are desperately trying to divide this country along any and every line you can but especially racial lines.
So he was up at 4AM. They got their daily freak out tweet early. I just love how the snowflakes take to the President's twitter account just like a cat to a laser pointer.
It IS the way he officially communicates, according to his staff.
Should people ignore the president?
I"ll answer your question with a question, could these snowflakes survive if they stopped following the President?
Love the analogy ....... spot on!
What Marshawn Lynch did in Mexico city was unconscionable FU to every US Vet. If he respects Mexico more than he respects the USA then i suggest he move there or keep his ungrateful BS to himself.
I doubt Trump lays awake nights worrying about turds like this but he also isn't afraid to call them out on their sanctimonious BS. Boo hoo for Marshawn .... squirt a few spoiled millionaire hypocrite.
The NFL as we know it today was on it's way out but if this continues it will be the last nail in their coffin.
Fucking idiots!
What to say..... this is our leader. It's childish and disturbing but this is what his supporters wanted representing the Country. (shrug).
I do think that he did help resolve the issue involving our citizens stealing in a foreign country. Whether you are a fan of his or not the best approach was to say thank you and leave it at that. The father was wrong to engage Trump because everyone knows how Trump is going to react. Apparently the father is also a loose canon and isn't able to control his actions.
It is odd that Trump seems to focus on people of color but again this is what his supporters wanted.
This is the new America.
I think John Oliver said it best - "If you plan on shoplifting in a foreign country, pick a country where you aren't four feet taller than the average citizen."
Early to bed early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
That's like posting a comment about the virtues of cleanliness, inside a coal mine.
