What is Trump using this "triggering" as cover for?

He tends to do this either before or after he does something controversial, like pull out of the Paris Accord.
My money is on him pulling out of the Iran deal in the coming days.
Any other predictions?

He has done this before. He causes the news to drop and pickup new topics so quickly that they are unable to cover them properly.
There are even articles about that, at least there were during the election.
Combine that with his most recent tweet about Iran launching a ballistic missile and I suspect that deal will be gone soon.

Iran, Paris Accord, and the healthcare bill failing in the Senate.

He's all id. Sometimes his impulsiveness intersects with major policy announcements but most of the time it doesn't.
There is no masterplan here.

Especially since the Democrats cannot seem to capitalize on any of it.
Targeting millionaire sports ball players is relatively safe at this point in time considering where ESPN and the NFL currently are sitting in society's eyes.
Incredibly petty, but safe.

Seems like the only people triggered this weekend are Trump and his supporters. Been a good weekend for the good guys.

I'm not sure why Democrats would want to try to capitalize on that. There's nothing in it for them.
Seems like being his best buddy on actual policy is a better use of their time.

Sure they are triggered, but it seems that the NFL players are shaking as well.

I agree with the idea that it was extremely petty and below the position of the presidency.

I don't think there is much sympathy for millionaire football players out there.

Then again, every Republican who has run for the presidency during my lifetime has been labeled an "idiot".
Buffoon? Sure. Braggadocious douche? Alright.
I doubt he is an "abject idiot".

NFL players have been given a golden opportunity by the POTUS to unite on the high ground. Trump basically just took people who were on the fence and made them side with the players nation wide.

The other possibility is that this pushes them to become even more political, resulting in more people turning off the game.
Look, the only thing that matters is the fan response.
Either people will watch or they won't.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Trumps counting on it. He's hoping every team kneels tomorrow. Remember when white house lawyers took the redskins to court. This is wants a culture war, they got it.
