The father of one of the punks caught shoplifting in China and subsequently jailed has told ESPN President Trump did no favor getting his boy released because, get this…

…‘They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes.’

Shoplifting hundreds of dollars in goods is nothing? Hey, punk-daddy, those weren’t Big Lots sunglasses – those were Louis Vuitton sunglasses, usually (minimum) $400.

And, from news reports, they didn’t just steal from one store, but 3 stores.

Punk-daddy ends his ESPN interview on this low note: “I’m from L.A. I’ve seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses. My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn’t define him.” Unhhhh…NO…

Your son was in a foreign nation, by invitation, and yeah…his bad decision defines him.

As for the President responding (after punk-daddy disrespected his effort to get the punks free) that he ‘should’ve left them in jail” – those who feel it was unpresidential to say so may want to re-think their opinion that it was his job to intervene.

It isn’t a president’s job to intervene for every American punk that breaks laws in foreign countries. Their criminal act put him in a precarious situation, unnecessarily obligating him to a foreign leader by calling in a favor. He could’ve left it to the State Dept, but chose instead to put himself in a difficult place by getting involved himself.

The three kids thanked him, but then punk-daddy showed his true nature (and displayed the probable reason why his son felt it was ok to steal by passing it off as no big thing).

This isn’t about the President, people…

…it’s about an entitlement mentality of America’s young punks…

…AND THE PUNK-DADDIES WHO INSTILLED THAT MENTALITY.

As far as we’re concerned, a couple more days in jail waiting for the State Dept to weigh in would’ve probably been the smarter way to go on the President’s part.
