Calls LaVar Ball an “ungrateful fool” over UCLA shoplifting case

After LaVar Ball said Trump overstated his role in securing the release of UCLA players detained for shoplifting in China, Trump tweeted that Ball was "an ungrateful fool" and "a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair," insisting “IT WAS ME” who secured their freedom and implying Ball’s son should have faced “5 to 10 years” in prison.

"LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think...IT WAS ME who got his son out of long term prison in China." — Twitter, November 22, 2017
