TRUMP MESSES UP. AGAIN. (WHAT A SHOCK, RIGHT?)
Donald Trump cannot keep his nonsense out of his Twitter account, there’s no news there, but this time, between trading insults with North Korea, he found some time to tweet this:
"Very important that NFL players STAND tomorrow, and always, for the playing of our National Anthem. Respect our Flag and our Country!"
It all started in 2016, when NFL player Colin Kaepernick decided to stay seated while the national anthem was playing as a protest for the police brutality against people of color. Of course, this brought some controversy from the bigoted citizens from the land of liberty but it didn’t seem a big deal until other players started to join Kaepernick as Trump kept “making America great again”.
Of course Trump found something to say about such a “disrespectful act” against his country! Accusing the NFL manager for not being able to enforce respect from their players. He even ordered a boycott by fans for Christ’s sake!
But the really important point in this matter, is that he has achieved his goal to overshadow other issues facing his presidency. Including the failure of congressional Republicans to repeal and replace the nation’s health care law, the catastrophic hurricane season, the back-and-forth between the U.S. and North Korea over missiles and nuclear weapons, and much more.
So the last thing I have to say is good job mister president. I guess.
