Am I tripping or is this the craziest interview that’s been on TV? I bet Trump is loving this guy, they are both cut from the same cloth!
I dare you to watch the whole thing
You're not "tripping." I too thought that was a bizarre interview.Am I tripping or is this the craziest interview that’s been on TV?
I read your post and hear others with similar suspicions and it highlights the unfortunate and extreme level of mistrust we have in this country. It’s quite sad. But if you look at the situation from outside the clouded goggles of suspicion I think flat out lying about something that could be so easily desputed by China would be a stretch. Even for a a guy like Trump. I think he did something good then tooted his own horn about it as he loves to doYou're not "tripping."

Eventually Ball got round to stating his point, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do so.
I have to say I don't know that Trump had much or anything to do with the three students' release from the hotel in which they were confined. For all I know, China merely had the boys sequestered in advance of deporting them. Based on my experience with a staff member who overstayed his visa, the Chinese people and law enforcement officers are unlikely to be of a mind to put in their jails foreigners who commit rather innocuous misdeeds. (Shoplifting a pair of sunglasses and then returning them is something the Chinese would consider innocuous enough that they'd rather "fry bigger fish.") They seem to me quite content to send people packing back to their home country and let bygones be bygones.
China hasn't remarked upon the nature and extent to which Trump was instrumental in securing the boys' release. Neither has China remarked upon what, if any, concessions they received in return for having acquiesced to Trump's alleged request that the boys be released. Even as I suspect China was simply going to deport the boys, I suspect too they are not above using and would have been thrilled to use the boys as a bargaining chip of some sort. What's surprising to me is that "Art of the Deal" Trump would have played into allowing that to happen. Maybe Trump did; maybe he didn't.
Be all that as it may, what I know is that Trump (and Trump cronies) is the only one asserting that he effected the boys' release, and I know quite well that there are all manners of details that Trump misrepresents. It's not even remotely beneath him to palter about his role in the boys' release. As a result, I, like Mr. Ball have no idea whether Trump personally secured the boys' release. All I know is Trump says he did.

Oh yeah I got that.

Let me be clear because apparently I wasn't clear enough. It is not the country I don't trust. It's Donald Trump's word for things that I do not trust.

Let's guess Ball's IQ. 65, charitably 70. Class -zero.Am I tripping or is this not the craziest interview that’s you’ve seen lately? I bet Trump is loving this guy, they are both cut from the same cloth!
