I applaud you for admitting he's right, and you can't deny that it's funny as well.

It wasn't meant as humour in the least. You understand that right? It was the president of the united states flexing towards someone who's words do not matter.
I don't think anyone is siding with Ball, or the idiot college kids who got busted for something that stupid. The issue is the fact the president is taking the time to bother engaging with this blowhard in the first place. He has much more important things that need to be worked on, much more important people to be engaging with.
Mind you I don't think outrage is the right reaction to this, or most bullshit that hits the news these days however this still highlights how horrible he is at prioritizing his time and how he chooses his battles poorly. This does not win him votes, this makes him a laughing stock to anyone other than his fanatics (which are nowhere near enough to get him re-elected solely)
