The thing of it is, he really didn't care about a thank you. He just wanted to interject himself further into this saga. The very same reason he does anything on Twitter.

There is no double standard when I comes to things like this. Few other adults behave in that manner. If you can show me an example of Obama stirring the pot on social media after doing something like that, I'll say you have a point. Until then, it's just people who "support" (whatever that means) the president whining that not as many people laughed at or shook their heads at the previous administration... On a weekly or even daily basis.

Personally, I think he should have left those chumps over there.

I'm with you on that, for sure.  I'm just a bit disappointed that bozos like Lavar Ball refuse to acknowledge the nice move of diplomacy that Trump pulled, to save these guys from suffering.  While stealing some sunglasses might seem petty to many in the US, Eastern Nations take that stuff seriously.  I've not read much about Chinese prisons, but I can't imagine it being a pleasant experience.

On another note, why do privileged American kids think it's OK to do stupid stuff in Eastern Nations?  Remember Michael Faye?  The kid that got caned in (I forget the exact location), for vandalizing cars.  What the heck??  Do they feel like they are somehow above the laws in other Nations?  Kind of makes me think that America has gotten so soft that we excuse so much, and dismiss it as "petty", that we have a youth that truly feels like they can do whatever they want, without fear of retribution.
