    Breaking: LiAngelo Ball and two UCLA teammates heading home after Trump intervenes.

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/three-u...63619?mod=e2tw

    SHANGHAI—Three UCLA basketball players detained for a week in China were set to fly back home late Tuesday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said he had requested assistance on their behalf from his counterpart Xi Jinping.UCLA freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley were seen late Tuesday at Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport checking into a Delta flight bound for Los Angeles, airline staff said. Their departure came after a week of tension, with the players detained by police in the eastern city Hangzhou as suspects in an investigation of suspected shoplifting from a Louis Vuitton boutique.
    Ending his trip to Asia on Tuesday, Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that in recent days he asked the Chinese president for help. Mr. Trump called the incident “unfortunate” but said he had had “a great conversation” about the players with China’s leader. “President Xi has been terrific on that subject,” he said.

    The shoplifting investigation took on outsize importance because the players are high-profile, especially Mr. Ball who comes from a prominent sports family with a brother in the NBA and a media-hungry father, and news of their troubles broke hours before Mr. Xi welcomed Mr. Trump on his first presidential visit to China.........

    Well I guess BLM can't blame Trump for this problem considering he swooped in and saved the day for these 3 pieces of shit. I'd rather see them crying for their mommies in a Chinese labor prison.

    Correct. That's the way it's always been and that's the way it will always be. Nobody said life was fair. Rich folks get more perks than us.

    The way most athletes today feel and act towards Trump he should have requested these 3 kids be locked up in a China jail and the book thrown at them. A crime was committed and they got off scotch free..

    Trump taking the higher ground I guess with this and springing these 3 college thieves..

    It's looking like Trump had a lot more to do with this than Obama did in killing Bin Laden.

    Fuk Trump and who gives a fly'in fuk! They should rot in a Chinese labor camp for a few months, like others have said! Spoiled ass punk rich kids who think they're above the law.

    Wow, Trump intervenes on behalf of some shoplifters, but lets an American kid die at the hands of some little bitch dictator in North Korea! Just proves what a fuk'in pussy he is!

    I can't wait until that fat fuk'in piece of shit falls over dead from a heart attack!

    It seems Trump got his hands involved and had everything to do with this.

    The meat of a huge recruiting class in trouble here, I wonder if UCLA clears up scholarship room by kicking them off or save themselves the headache by giving some trivial punishment, saving their hoops careers.

    Not really happy Trump did this...

    He should have done this later on after the 3 kids were sent to a China prison... Like a month from now when it is really big media news..

    Trump then could have made the call to the Chinese President and sprung them all, really looked like a hero.. Teach those 3 black UCLA ghetto kids a lesson...

    Obama was actually the President when that guy got detained(January of 2016) in North Korea and he didn't do anything either.

    Good for President Trump and America first! I don't trust China one bit, so who knows if they really did shoplift, some sort of misunderstanding, or set up by China. I want to see proof. It seems really hard to believe a player with a rich brother and father would shoplift in a totalitarian country, as I'm sure they were plenty warned about traveling to China. China treats Catholics worse than anyone over there, so the communist government isn't exactly known for having a great moral compass. Bravo Mr President, way to get things done.

    Trump could say he cured cancer while people are still dying left and right and the stans would parade it around.
