re: Tom Brady: Trump's comments were divisive

Well that's your position regarding what he should say and you're certainly entitled to that, we differ in that regard but he's not legally prohibited from saying what he said and I'd like to point out that "should" is an incredibly different term than "shall" regarding what a POTUS does

Spare me the semantics. The First Amendment is pretty clear regarding the role of the government regarding speech. The President "suggesting" actions by private employers regarding speech or protest is a dangerous precedent. Now if a hot mike caught Trump in private making those comments then your argument could hold some water, but the President making those comments in a official capacity is somewhere between inappropriate and dangerous.
