In an update to this article posted Tuesday, the UCLA President spoke after the release of three of his basketball players after stealing in China, but he did not mention President Trump for saving them from a jail sentence which would have been somewhere between two and ten years. The players haven’t thanked the President either.
The President would like a thank you.
Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

If they actually Did what they were charged with THEN they should be removed from the team. What they did what humiliate the ENTIRE country. It’s a pretty sad state of affairs that you will enter a different country and commit a crime.
