Image via Thomas Peter/Pool/Getty Trump Asks Xi Jinping For Help With LiAngelo Ball And UCLA Teammates We can’t really say definitively that this is a good thing, but we’ll see how it plays out. According to the Washington Post , Donald Trump personally asked Chinese president Xi Jinping to help LiAngelo Ball and his 2 UCLA teammates with their shoplifting case. As we reported, Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill have all been remanded to house arrest until the legal proceedings in their case have concluded…which could take MONTHS . After Trump raised the matter, Xi promised to look into the case and ensure that the players are treated fairly and expeditiously, said a U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Chief of Staff John F. Kelly has been in touch with the families of the players and has spoken with UCLA coach Steve Alford, and Kelly remains in contact with Chinese authorities, the official added. This official indicated that charges against the players have been reduced and that the case is proceeding toward a resolution. This SOUNDS good in theory, but Trump could f**k up the whole thing with one headazz tweet insulting the Chinese people. He’s just not the guy we feel comfortable relying on for assistance in situations like this. Moreover, let’s say Trump is able to help the boys come home soon, does that mean the Ball family has to kiss his cantaloupe-colored azz for the foreseeable future? Will Lavar start wearing #MAGA hats?? Are y’all still gonna cheer for Big Baller Brand’s success if he does??? We’ll answer all these questions and more on the next episode…
