Donald Trump: LaVar Ball Is a Poor Man's Don King, But Without the Hair
By Kyle Koster
Good morning. Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is continuing his feud with LaVar Ball. Here is what he had to say.
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!

Trump also retweeted a fan who agreed with his spicy early-morning take.
The White House has made it quite clear that Trump’s tweets are official administration statements. In that sense, they must be treated as earnest and serious sentiments, no matter how absurd the endeavor becomes.
In this case, however, it is entirely possible that the Ball patriarch and Trump are engaging in some sort of coordinated effort to score a new and combative debate show on either ESPN or FS1. That’s the only way this way this whole thing makes sense.
Please remember this battle of the outrageous and bombastic minds when asked to say what you’re thankful for this Thanksgiving. We are truly blessed to live in interesting and stupid times.
