Full tittle........................'Did you thank the doctor for bringing you into this world?' Basketball dad LaVar Ball escalates feud with President Trump in car-crash CNN interview where he again refused to accept Trump helped free his son from Chinese authorities......................LaVar Ball continued his feud with President Donald Trump by questioning the commander-in-chief's role in freeing his son from Chinese authorities.

The outspoken father of LiAngelo Ball, one of three UCLA basketball players arrested in China accused of shoplifting earlier this month, questioned what Trump did to free the trio when he appeared on CNN Tonight on Monday.

In an interview that quickly derailed despite the best efforts of host Chris Cuomo, Ball once again declined to thank Trump.

'What did he [Trump] do for my son?' Ball asked Cuomo. 'I don't have to go around thanking everybody. I don't have to go around thanking everybody.'

I agree. This was not a good precedent to set.

But it does show how entitled and ungrateful these people are.

After the doctor delivered my child, I thanked her profusely.

Doesn’t everyone?

Uh oh...LayVar has the spotlight of attention on him, and he ain’t gonna let it go easily.

Well, let him rant...people plainly see what an @$$hole he’s being about it all.

Yes, why does LaVar assume that the doctor was male?

I never thanked the doctor who delivered me, but by the time I learned to talk, we had moved away.

For thousands of years, babies were delivered by midwives. Having babies born in hospitals is a pretty recent development.

Trump can just wait. The dad and his son will soon enough commit more crimes and Donald can twit: “I told you so”.

My wife’s obstetrician was a former ME-109 pilot.
I said `Danke Shoen Herr Doktor’.
He said, “Your accent is schiess”.
That means `wonderful’.

You can tell a lot about a parent by looking at the kid.

My Dad would have suggested to the President that I be left there to face the music.

Or, barring that, would have quietly and politely thanked him, and perhaps explained what horrors were in store for me on my return to home.

Unfortunately, Trump recognized that could be a Jimmy Carter hostage incident for the left, and put it to rest. Yes, he used some big time capital in doing, but hey, the real leaders in this world respect the man.

A strong America helps China also. In fact, through commerce, countries and people might come together.

Or put the father in charge of the store where the jerks stole the glasses. See what father would do to anyone who steals from HIM.
