“You know, some owner is gonna do that. He’s gonna say, ‘That guy disrespects our flag, he’s fired.’ And that owner, they don’t know it. They don’t know it. They’re friends of mine, many of them. They don’t know it. They’ll be the most popular person, for a week. They’ll be the most popular person in this country.”
Speaking in a hypothetical is not the same as calling for owners to fire players.
Second, its not possible for me to "defend" something that Trump didn't say. So, I defy you to point out specifically where I said that Trump was correct to call for players to be fired.
If anyone has a "reputation for dishonestly", it should be folks who like to try to spin the words of others, or put words in other people's mouths.

Wouldn't we love it if Whell never posted here again. Now you tell me: is that a hypothetical or a suggestion?
