Trump should be happy now that the three UCLA players came forward and thanked him for helping bring them back to the US after they were caught shoplifting:

This would have been so much better for Trump if he hadn’t tweeted this morning demanding they thank him.
I do think it was still sincere from the players and I expect they were planning to do this all along. But Trump certainly tarnished this whole thing and instead being happy for him that he did this, I’m rolling my eyes thinking he’s a self-absorbed egomaniac.
Way to go Trump.
In case you were wondering, these three UCLA players are suspended indefinitely:
