UCLA Basketball: What Twitter said about Trump’s UCLA tweet

The three UCLA Basketball players that have caused an international incident are indebted to a lot of people that have helped them leave China after being detained by authorities for allegedly shoplifting from three Hangzhou retail outlets.

One of them is United States President Donald Trump.

Since this incident made international headlines in the last week, it was speculated that freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley would have to stay in China for up to two weeks while the legal system ran its course with these three. It was also speculated that, if convicted, these players could see 3-10 years in a Chinese prison.
