Emperor Trump Tweets More Threats, Craziness, Against NFL Players
Read Time:54 Second
It must be football season again, at least based on Trump’s tweets from Friday morning. After reports filtered out about some NFL players kneeling, raising their fists, and taking part in other forms of protest during preseason games on Thursday evening, Trump once more railed against those who did so. “
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……

He continued in a second tweet:
…..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!

And a final warning:
“Find another way to protest. Stand proudly for your National Anthem or be Suspended Without Pay!”
Politico and the Washington Post took issue with Trump’s assertion that the players haven’t been able to define what they’re protesting, with Politico noting the players are pushing back against “racial injustice and police brutality.”
The Post goes even deeper, compiling very specific statements from the players themselves. In May, the NFL banned players from sitting or kneeling during the anthem, but that policy was put on hold in July and won’t be enforced as the league and players union try to hash things out on the sidelines.

Keeryst not this asshole again with this stale old distraction. It is unpatriotic for these sportsball guys to take a knee, but it’s a ok and all the way patriotic for his followers to go round wearing I’d rather be Russian than a dem shirts. Ok then.
You’ve said it all, but when it comes to Trump, you never know but that he’ll sink to some new abomination. I’m pretty sure we have never had a president who publicly denounces private citizens and all who disagree with his prejudices, tells employers who to hire and fire, who denounces individual rights. None of these things are any of his business! Does egotism and narcissism really cover it? At least he knows who he works for and that it’s not the people.
In this new world of Donald Trump only he gets to decide what is proper to protest, and how to protest. Trump views himself as a “strongman” who wields an enormous amount of power over the people of his country. I remember him saying that he wanted people to snap to attention when he walked into the room. One thing Trump forgets, as he wails about the patriotism of others, is that he has never shown any patriotism to any part of America. He weaseled his way out of serving the country. He has disrespected those we have in uniform who have suffered being imprisoned like John McCain. He has disrespected the family of a military officer who was killed in the line of duty. He stood with the leader of one of our longest standing enemy and praised him while he has criticized those of our intelligence agencies. He pretended to sing the National Anthem once but it was clear that he did not even know the words. He is a fake patriot, a con man, a man who disrespects the women of this country (actually every country) and has to lie to everyone and especially to himself to make himself feel good. He is a sorry, good for nothing, bitch.
