DAY 302: Trump throws a tantrum over his failed attempt at getting undeserved praise

So the story goes like this: Three African American basketball players were caught stealing sunglasses in China and they were thrown in jail. Donald Trump, thinking he was going to become a hero, apparently asked Chinese president Xi Jinping to release them. And the basktball players were released.

But Trump's publicity stunt backfired, as nobody thought he was a hero. As a result, he threw a tantrum on Twitter:

Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!

Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar. Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead. China told them why they were released. Very ungrateful!

Again; this was a very trite publicity stunt by Trump. What he obviously doesn't realize is the United States's government is obligated to aid its citizens abroad. He did NOTHING heroic. He did what he was supposed to do in the first place. But he wants an applause for doing what the's obligated to do.

And he made the whole thing even worse by bitching and moaning about it. Now he's starting to look like the racist he is once again.
