@bridgetoby, did he really though ? According to his tweets he spoke to Xi Jinping about the 3 UCLA basketball players but none of it was actually documented or confirmed. What was confirmed was the meeting he had earlier that day to speak on economical growth and the unity the two will have throughout the years to come. Trump was greeted with red carpets and rare dining experiences in the forbidden city and he boasted about it all over social media but not one word about the UCLA players till after the fact. In my opinion, Xi gave back the Americans as a sign of respect and newfound future.

Well, either way I'm sure it didn't hurt for Trump to intervene but, I have a feeling that Lonzo played off his sons legal issues when President Trump got involved and boosted his brand. After all I didn't know much about the Ball family until the Pres. made a stink about it. His son came out of it hopefully a better person while his father wound up center stage.
