In case you missed it, yesterday Donald Trump fired off a tweet directed at LaVar Ball, throwing LiAngelo under a full-on speeding bus. "Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!" writes Trump, in a move that has even some of his most ardent defenders finding pettier than usual. To make matters even more inflammatory, Trump also took aim at NFL player Marshawn Lynch over kneeling during the American National Anthem. In a move that will surely shock a staggering zero people, Trump proceeded to voice his displeasure on Twitter.
As per usual, Trump's tweets caused a strong reaction, including some from a pair of West Coast veterans, YG and Snoop Dogg. YG, who dropped the single "Fuck Donald Trump" last year, was one of the first to respond to Trump's anti LaVar crusade. In fact, YG seems to have thrown his support behind LaVar, claiming that the Ball patriarch "played" Donald Trump, leaving ya'll to interpret what to make of that.
And while YG opted for brevity, Snoop Dogg really went in on the President, which you can see below in a video from TMZ. "Fuck Donald Trump, bitch," says Snoop, and then, addressing Trump's comments on Marshawn Lynch, "they should suspend your dumb ass, motherfucka, all the goofy shit you do everyday, when are you going to get suspended motherfucka? Fuck you, I'm with Marshawn Lynch, n***a, stand up for the Mexican motherfuckin' national anthem, we fuck with Mexicans n***A, they the homies...Fuck you Donald Trump and everything you stand for. LaVar Ball good lookin' out. I wouldn't have thanked that motherfucka either...'should have left them in jail,' what kind of n***a is you, man? Garbage. America you should be ashamed to call this piece of shit your president."
In other news, LaVar Ball is scheduled to appear on CNN tonight to address the debacle.
