". . . Trump (recently) escalated his feud with the father of one of the three UCLA basketball players who was detained in China on suspicion of shoplifting (LaVar Ball), calling him a "fool." . . . "It wasn't the White House, it wasn't the State Department, it wasn't father LaVar's so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME," Trump tweeted early Wednesday. "Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man's version of Don King, but without the hair." . . . "ungrateful" . . . LaVar Ball, known for his bombastic public persona, has refused to thank Trump, telling CNN on Monday: "How'd he help? If he helped, I would say thank you.". . ."

" . . . Trump had the opportunity to show respect to a group of brave Americans by bearing witness to their stories, and he squandered it. Instead of preparing something meaningful to say to these American heroes, he chose to reveal his own ignorance in conversational banter. He could have acknowledged the place of importance that these men hold in their home communities, and how they continue to be role models to so many. He could've acknowledged the sacrifices they made despite the terrible crimes the United States has inflicted on so many Native people living within its borders. He could have, at the very least, acknowledged the Code Talkers' accomplishments somewhere other than in front of the portrait of the architect of so much mass death and displacement for indigenous people. . . . But he didn't, because he had no idea how great they were. And he has no idea how great they are, let alone who they . . . are.
Note: These are not anomalies. These are not gaffes. Not only has he been accused of similar transgressions to those of Roy Moore, Louis C.K., Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein, in addition this person exhibits symptoms of a severe problem on a daily basis causing the general population of this country much suffering.
