UCLA basketball players thanked President Trump for “helping us out,” after a Twitter nudge from the commander-in-chief who worked to get China to drop shoplifting charges against them.
“I would like to thank President Trump and the U.S. government for their help,” LiAngelo Ball said in a press conference on Wednesday.
Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

Ball’s teammates, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley also thanked the president for “helping us out.”
But earlier in the day, Trump was apparently hearing crickets from the trio and asked where was the gratitude.
