Several Black football players have taken a stance against the USA. I have no problem with the President for calling them out.

Being labeled a racist has become so watered down that it doesn't carry the same weight as it used to. So if some want to label him a "racist", who really gives a damn? I surely don't.

You are racist for assuming that "all" NFL players are black. How do you know Trump wasn't talking about one of the white NFL players?

He's now taken a very public stance against Black football players which plays right into the narrative that he's a racist.


Where did he call out black players? I'll wait.

Sure there was...to distract from the fact the he so far has not accomplished much of anything. And idiots eat up this BS pandering while nothing actually gets done.

Then you aren't very bright. Getting into squabbles with professional athletes to please his base isn't genius. It's Petty and small

People gwt fired from their jobs for putting things on facebook that employers disagree with.

Why should players be any different?


Either stop firing conservatives who voice their opinion or we all play by the same rules



Or we could just let private employers make their own decisions. That would be the "small government" position.

He can't help Congress being against him. He's accomplished a fair amount, even still, such as defeating ISIS in Iraq and Syria, reducing regulations on business, slowing illegal immigration, etc.

You are incorrect. Trump doesn't pay tribute to the racial monoliths Progs have constructed. He smashes them instead. As an Everyman President he spoke a simple truth and confronted Cultural Marxism and how it is destroying a favorite American Institution. He did us a great service by shining a spotlight on the destructive nature of anti-Americanism within our Institutions . The only thing left is for angry Progressives to light themselves on fire. Meanwhile Trump is on to the next thing and Americans get to see just how angry and irrational Progressivism is.

LOL so you're going to fall back on the old "but but he started it" mentality and pretend like it isnt small or petty. Jesus you guts are so fricking weak for men.

Professional athletes and their opinions aren't really that important to most normal people. The president of the United States however was elected to run a country. The president United States worrying about what athletes think of him is ridiculous

Part of the problem with Trump and his base is they've become so childish together that they cannot see the childishness. It has become their reality

I have no problem with political figures telling the truth. It's actually very rare.

When did I say that? I'm pointing out the fact that you like to blame Trump for everything rather than call out some of these players and movie stars for their comments as well.

And the childish comment is old, please pick something new.

Exactly.

And the idiots on the left fall for it every time. All next week will be outrage about this and the NBA thing, and President Trump will be moving and shaking on important issues while the left burns.

Rinse and repeat.
