JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: TRUMP, BASKETBALL, CHINA, SHOPLIFTING, AND MISUSING INFLUENCE - A TIDY SMALL EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN CORRUPTION FROM TOP TO BOTTOM



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


Trump lashes out at UCLA basketball players: 'I should have left them in jail'

Could you create a shabbier little international incident?

Idiotic American basketball players shoplift while visiting China.

By the way, in doing so, they idiotically confirm every stereotype we have about young black males.

An idiotic President of the United States calls high connections in China to get them out of a jail which they very much deserve to be in.

The idiotic President, of course, is concerned only with politics and appearances. If he were really concerned with things like corruption in Washington, he would never set this crummy example of misusing influence in high places.

The idiotic father of one of the idiotic basketball players, a man named LaVar Ball, criticizes the idiotic President instead of condemning his idiotic son, indeed suggesting something along the lines that shoplifting is no big deal.

So, the idiotic President responds publicly that he should have left them in jail.

Yes, indeed, you should have.

And could there be a better small example of how stupidly corrupt the United States is from top to bottom?
