The president of the United States of America is feuding with a basketball parent.

Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to blast LaVar Ball, saying he should not have helped the three UCLA basketball players arrested on shoplifting charges in China.

"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," Trump tweeted. "I should have left them in jail!"

LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill returned to the United States on Tuesday after they were held on shoplifting charges in China.
