During his campaigning for the presidency, Donald set a negative tone towards almost all of the dissenters of his bias beliefs. But his tainted self is continuing to butt bite him throughout his presidency. To combat all the protests and ridicule, he resorts to the one asset he thinks he’s got going for him–the belittling of the NFL players who refuse to stand during the playing of our nation anthem.

He continues to play the patriotism card for all its worth–to him. Donald not only wants the NFL players to jump through hoops, but the rest of our nation too. Just like the North Koreans do for Kim Jong-un. Hey, Donald, America doesn’t want a dictator. And if it did, you wouldn’t even make the short list.

Because his strategy has been only minimally successful (with no NFL teams to my knowledge claiming to have fired any protesting players), Trump has upped his rejection deception by soliciting Americans to sign a petition denouncing ESPN’s refusal to telecast the playing of our national anthem before the NFL games. I believe ESPN shouldn’t be shamed and/or bullied into telecasting our anthem. But they should telecast it even if it gets a little complicated to do so. I also believe it’s dirty pool for the president to use (to infinity) this national song tradition to enforce his distastefulness of the protesting NFL players. (His repeated calling for the protesting players’ heads (their firing) parallels his continued vetting that Obama didn’t have valid citizenship papers).

You might think it’s disrespectful for me to depict Trump Tower as the holding tank of a toilet. But he shows no R E S P E C T for anyone else but himself.
We Americans have all witnessed Trump’s potty mouth and stage rage. But all that pales in comparison to what Omarosa Manigault Newman has written in her book Unhinged. I read it and you should too. Of course, Trump and all his yes men (and women) will do their level headed best to discredit her, but that’s the modus operand for damage control for this White House administration. All power aside, she’s tons more credible than he is.

Trump would like nothing less than an attendance boycott of the NFL’s games, which, he thinks, would prove his mandates correct. What a doofus. The man will stop at nothing to feed his enormous ego. What initially started out as a mere NFL protest against the inequalities of our justice system towards African Americans especially, has escalated into a stark refusal by these NFL protesting players (and most of their stand-up teammates too) to any so called edicts by a racist and bigoted US president. These protesting players have more courage and intestinal fortitude than I ever had or ever will have. They may be standing (OK kneeling) specifically on behalf of African Americans, but make no mistake, they’re doing it for all the oppressed people of this nation. The Bible warns about the rich exploiting the poor to their advantage (Republicans?). On the other side of the aisle, we have the poor exploiting the rich to their advantage (Robbing Hood Democrats?). Now I ask you, “Where’s the middle ground (Party)?
