Trump Predictably Rages About Renewed NFL Protests



President Donald Trump weighed in on NFL anthem protests as a number of players knelt, raised their fists or stayed in the dressing room during the national anthem as the league’s pre-season gets underway. Trump’s claim that players are “unable to define” what they are protesting is a solid demonstration of his complete disinterest in finding out anything about the protests.

I wonder what government agency he is planning to gut today while everyone is looking over here?

...that Kneelgate 2.0 "outrage" will be a big snooze this time around. No one but the asshole-in-chief cares about his manufactured overreaction except deplorables who amplify this nonsense. Let the players make a statement and remind Americans why they are doing it: to call attention to police brutality and racial inequality in the U.S.

"Something that most of them are unable to define" = I don't know what their issue is, I don't intend to talk to them about it, and I'm going to rant cluelessly because that's what the people who idolize me want to hear.
