Donald Trump Regrets Saving 3 Americans From Chinese Jail

President Donald Trump on Sunday said he was sorry for helping secure the release of three college basketball players caught shoplifting in China, after one of their fathers downplayed the president’s role.

The UCLA trio of LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill were briefly detained for stealing from a Louis Vuitton store in the city of Hangzhou earlier this month in what became a minor diplomatic incident.

Upon their return they held a press conference to apologize and thank the president as well as the Chinese government for letting them go without prosecution.

But Ball’s father LaVar Ball, a brash media personality known for outspoken advocacy of his three basketball playing sons, minimized the president’s role in an interview Friday with sports network ESPN.

Trump lashed out, 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!” he added.

Asked to comment on Trump’s help, Ball had told ESPN: “What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.” He also minimized the severity of his son’s offence, saying: “I’m from L.A. I’ve seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.

“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.” The case drew great attention in the United States because LiAngelo’s elder brother Lonzo has been a star for the Los Angeles Lakers in his debut season.

How to kill proscratination,before it kills you.

Everyone has in one way or the other put off what he or she should have done immediately, proscrastination exists in every human being but it can actually be overcomed if you are willing and ready to do so. I hope you will find this article useful and use its contents to eliminate the proscratinating spirit that is with you. 1. Be realistic. As you establish your schedule, set yourself up for success. Projects often take much longer than expected, so bake in some extra time. And look for ways to make it easier on yourself: If, for example, you are not a morning person, don’t expect yourself to get up an hour early to start the exercise program you have put off for months.
