So you feel he does disgraceful things for publicity? Care to name a couple?

I deplore that the Trump habit of argument by name-calling has become so pervasive.

Yeh, how dare he peacefully and silently protest against disparate treatment of minorities by the police and then being blackballed for it?

Only because he is publicizing something you and your type do not want him to.

I don't care, my guess is as good as it gets.

The NFL players are at it again – taking a knee when they should be standing proudly for the National Anthem. Numerous players, from different teams, wanted to show their “outrage” at something that most of them are unable to define. They make a fortune doing what they love……

…..Be happy, be cool! A football game, that fans are paying soooo much money to watch and enjoy, is no place to protest. Most of that money goes to the players anyway. Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 10, 2018

So, exactly how does the Racist Dotard plan to suspend their pay?

I've thought this action had become a distraction from the 14th amendment issues it was intended to spotlight and outlived it's usefulness, but apparently not so for others.
A quasi-cumpulsory general loyalty oath in the age of an adulation hungry admin is becoming a ritual I'm finding at least ethically awkward. Maybe it has outlived it's intended purpose to unite us and needs to go as having become, instead, divisive.

It's interesting that wingnuts defend the vile, slanderous Alex Jones' free speech but go nuts when black athletes silently protest unequal treatment under the law. Morever, the NFL and its athletes spoke out against spousal abuse and breast cancer and everybody was OK with it. When it comes to racial injustice, however, the wingnuts go apoplectic.

Trump keeps the issue alive with distortions for the sole purpose of keeping his base all worked up.
