Expect more protest. |
We're tilting closer and closer to fascism. The world's most ineffective leader Donald J. Trump took a shot at former NFL player Colin Kaepernick for refusing to stand for the national anthem.
Kaepernick who had played for the San Francisco 49ers before he was cut made the news last year after refusing to stand for the anthem. He often took the knee whenever the anthem was being played. He said that the national anthem has a racist verse in it. He also cites the constant violence between law enforcement and unarmed people of color.
Trump this week was just at the United Nations saying he wants peace in the world. Trump was trying his best to make peace with the United Nations and was asking for their help to sanction a foreign power. He named off North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un as "Rocket Man." Trump also wanted to annihilate North Korea if they continue to use their ballistic missiles and friendly allied territory.
How can anyone take Trump seriously when he wants peace in the world?
Anyway, the ineffective leader decides to stump for a struggling senator trying to run for re-election.
Trump was in Alabama to support Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL).

The former justice has made the news for his controversial statements on gay marriage and his feable attempt to keep the Ten Commandments at the state court. Moore and Strange are neck-and-neck in this race.
Trump puts his two cents in a race that could open a wound within the party. So in order to win a few votes, Trump tosses some red meat. He decides to go after Kaepernick.
"They're ruining the game," said Trump to a thunderous crowd.
He said that NFL owners should be able to fire the players out the cannon. Basically he is telling Americans that if you refuse to stand for the national anthem or your burn a flag, you should be fired from your job.
"That's a total disrespect of our heritage. That's a total disrespect of everything that we stand for."
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when someone disrespects our flag, you'd say, 'Get that son-of-a-bitch off the field right now. Out! He's fired,'" Trump said to a thunderous crowd.
Trump and many conservatives believe the NFL's ratings are down because of political correctness. They assume that because of NFL players taking a stance against racism and Trump has people tuning it out.
A civil war. Roy Moore and Luther Strange fight for a full term as a senator. |
Trump also dismisses the concussion issue that is plugging the NFL.
He actually told the people in Alabama that he misses the good old days.
One could wonder if many other players are going to start taking a knee because of Trump's comments.
It was said that some members of the NFL teams refuse to go to Trump hotels or meet him when they win the Superbowl.
The Golden State Warriors refuse to meet with Trump. They are the most recent NBA champions.
