One thing I have been trying to do is separate Lavar from his sons - it's been difficult with all of the attention Lonzo has gotten on the hated Lakers, but it's not really fair to judge people on their parents.
In this case, the three boys thanked Trump for intervening - that should have been enough. Why Trump had to turn this into a battle with Lavar is beyond me. Trump is embarrassing; not because he is outspoken, but because he is so immature.
And anybody who is still making the argument that Trump saved these boys from 10 years of jail is just not thinking through how the judicial system works. I am not saying they wouldn't have been in trouble or even were forced to serve a short sentence (that still seems ridiculous), but that 10 year # is a maximum sentence. We have many ludicrous maximum sentences in our country that are almost always greatly reduced. With this being such a high profile case, it would have been very surprising if China really pushed this one through.
