President Trump started a new feud with the sporting world on Sunday morning, taking aim at LaVar Ball after Ball downplayed Trump's involvement in his son LiAngelo Ball's return to the United States after being arrested in China on a shoplifting charge.

Twitter was quick to react to the news, with both Ball and Trump known for their over-the-top, blustering personalities.

Since Ball is known for being such a brilliant marketer, taking his boisterous and boastful appearances on ESPN's "First Take" and turning himself into a can't-miss personality of the sports media landscape, many assumed that this was just another genius play to bring publicity to the Big Baller Brand.
