I cant believe you put up with this race baiting shit and swallow it up.
The first statement instantly calls you to use your emotions, and has no actual evidence or facts to back it up, but hey lets trust mr.reporter's feels. He cant have any agenda to get people riled up, or editors and advertiser to please and we all know talking about Trump wont get any hits right! What a brave man for writing such an article!. The whole article is based on a imagined straw man.
In most cases the simplest answer is the right one.
Trump has a big ego and wanted to be loved by his actions, the father being politically opposed cant thank him for saving his son (I have no idea what parent would want their kid to spend a second in a chinese jail but thats another story) for fear of being ostracised. The simple thing would have to say thanks and then use his platform to also then state any anti-trump position he wants.
These kind of articles are the exact ones that are destroying the leftist position and making the mindless idiots that lap it up looks just ass fucking retarded as 'the donalds' rabid fans.
But lets not use our brains, lets all shout at the sky and give ourselves a pat on the back.
