Maggie Haberman Retweeted Donald J. Trump

US president says he should have left US citizens imprisoned by non-democratic regime because the family didn’t acknowledge him personally

who votes for people like that ?

First off you dont live in a real democracy so you shouldnt be throwing stones at other countries governments. Second, if they stole then they should stay in China and do their time. I am anti police but I am pro locking up people who victimize others. My only exposure to this Ball family was on Monday Night Raw and they didnt exactly come off as civilized to me.

First off, LaVar Ball is a legitimate moron. See: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20218746/michael-jordan-says-beat-lavar-ball-one-one-one-leg

Secondly, this is a distraction and Trump realizes it. Better to engage in an entirely innocuous, truly petty squabble with a fellow blowhard than to talk about Roy Moore or the excuse for tax reform that Republicans are trying to **** out.

IMO Trump mishandled this. He should have said something like, "I was happy to help bring those kids home, but I'm starting to think I made the wrong decision on bringing Mr. Ball home". Or something along those lines ;)
 
I think Obama would have let the state department handle it.
As would have his 43 predecessors.

I don't think Obama would have patted himself on the back even if he did spearhead the release

I don't think Obama would have gotten into a pissing contest with the Ball guy .

thethe you forgot to mention the man released by Cuba as part of the deal to end sanctions
Which I am pretty sure the State Department handled negotiations.
Obama never claimed credit for that release but instead referred to it as a condition of normalizing relations
 
Mr. President, since you seem to be able to get shop shoplifting basketball players freed, how about you stop with the tweeting long enough to try a little harder to get Andrew Brunson freed from your buddy Erdogan.

Smh.
 
now leaks that Mattis also let it be known that he thinks trump is a ****ing idiot.

"McMaster bluntly trashed his boss, said the sources, four of whom told BuzzFeed News they heard about the exchange directly from Catz. The top national security official dismissed the president variously as an “idiot” and a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner,” the sources said.
A sixth source who was not familiar with the details of the dinner told BuzzFeed News that McMaster had made similarly derogatory comments about Trump’s intelligence to him in private, including that the president lacked the necessary brainpower to understand the matters before the National Security Council."

every halfway intelligent person realizes how dumb this man is.
 
If a General said Obama had the intelligence of a kindergartner the right would have a field day with it.

But I suppose McMaster is the corrupt swamp thing that doesn’t realize Trump is playing 4D chess with him.

HOLY MOLY!! New CBO report finds that the sneak attack on health care in the GOP tax bill will ***hammer*** households making less than $50,000 a year. Absolutely hammer them.

Trump wants:

1) NFL to suspend Marshawn Lynch for a year for a peaceful pregame protest;

2) China to imprison 3 U.S. teens for 5 to 10 years unless one of their dads is nicer to him;

3) DOJ to prosecute and imprison Mrs. Clinton;

4) Alabama to vote for a pedophile.

Got it.
