The President ought to focus on tax reform, health care, and North Korea instead of picking a fight with NFL players.

military plane fly-overs

Those should be suspended immediately, and indefinitely.

What’s going on with the NFL players is a very calculated, cunning bit of Cultural Marxism intended to inflict heavy long-term damage on the country and its society.

Maybe NR should pull its head out of its arse and deal with THAT.

President Trump has the stones to say what millions of Americans are thinking and I think it's great.
The MSM spit on George Bush's shoe and he licked it off - try it with Trump and you get punched in the nose.

Have you ever posted a positive comment about Trump as a candidate and as a president?

If not go to hell with your NFL buddies.

If so, please post some link re positive comments about our President, and I will apologize to you.

He’s distracting the fakestream presstitutes with shiny things.

The author is stupid in the extreme.

He is comparing official government action to individuals boycotting an anti-American display on live TV.

Of course, NRO will stretch any fact, and mischaracterize any situation to hit this POTUS.

Hypocrisy be damned.

I actually carry a copy of this, when I go to any game or outside event where the National Anthem is played. As a Navy Vet, I leave my hat on and salute. Some people, non vets, get upset until I show them part (b).

Thanks to Brown Deer for posting this!

I agree. Giving more attention to people desperately seeking attention only emboldens them to seek even more.

There is a ton of important work to do that does not involve the NFL, football, or snowflakes on all sides.

The Left is the group that started demanding that people be punished for failure to be politically correct. Lose your job, lose your business. You have to pay for your transgression.

They just want a monopoly on that.

The idea that a hundred million patriotic Americans might start demanding anything similar is something that terrifies the Left.

He didn't pick a fight. It ought to be OBVIOUS that folks stand when the National Anthem is being played. And it is obvious that employers can control what their employees do WHILE AT WORK.

Suppose every time I waited on a customer, I started by kneeling, raising my fist, and saying, "I oppose the confiscatory taxes of a totalitarian government. Justice for taxpayers!" Would my employer have every right to fire me?

All Trump did was make a passing comment, then tweet a few sentences. It is the NFL that has made it a fight.

I'm sure one of the reasons he dropped this turd in the punch bowl on Friday was to distract from Congress' utter failures on those things.

This man is a showman extraordinaire, and an absolute genius.

He is focused on these things. It is Congress who is not.

Disrespecting our flag and anthem is corrosive to our nation.
For the football league that purports to be for OUR nation, that’s unacceptable.
The league should have nipped this in the bud last year.
They have not and it is spreading.
President Trump was right to call them out.

The New England Pussyhats need a name change.

I'm with you on this. And, believe me, I'm no fan of the NFL frauds and their sanctimony. I'm a life-long Steelers fans and I'm appalled by their actions and post-game comments yesterday, save for Alejandro Villanueva. But the president has bigger fish to fry right now. Yes, he got some applause from the campaign rally but this is not the fight I want him to be leading. Let's get tax reform and healthcare done while we have the majority, however tenuous it is.

Its all about the culture war also, therefore that’s what the President is taking on. And a very brave stand I may say instead hiding like a snowflake.

“The President ought to focus on tax reform, health care, and North Korea instead of picking a fight with NFL players. “

yet more anti-trumpism heard yet again from an old-time FR anti-trumper!

exactly how does a couple of tweets that take less than a minute each to write distract Trump himself from anything?

What DOES get distracted, however, with those two minutes of time is the entire enemedia. In two minutes, Trump has spun them into yet another frenzy of anti-Americanism, demonstrating their fundamental hatred of all things held sacred by the vast majority of our citizens, while Trump himself and his Administration quietly go about keeping his campaign promises to Make America Great Again, accomplishing great things that the enemedia won’t publicize anyway.

You’re trying to convince people here that the Sturm und Drang of the enemedia is somehow related to reality. It is not. And Trump understands that. He plays the enemedia like a fiddle, causing them to rush hither and thither with each tweet he issues.

And in this particular case, he’s also obtained millions of dollars of free publicity demonstrating that he stands as a patriot and a lover or our nation, while goading the reactionary anti-Trump forces into taking public, anti-American stances.

In my opinion, those two minutes that Trump took to write those tweets had invaluable consequences.

You really should take your road-show of anti-Trumpism to the fake conservative, Trump-hating website, therightscoop. You’ll be much happier there and much better appreciated.

Bullshiite. Trump dropped a well deserved MOAB on the communist funded “social justice” movement. Their stealth plan involves destroying high profile, patriotic, normally unifying, symbols and causes. They were largely succeeding, using useful idiots on the teams and media.

Trump blew it up, in a masterly way. They might not know it yet, but it’s a huge setback for the communists behind this fake BLM/BAMN/antifa/indivisible astroturf operation.

Trump knows exactly what he’s doing. Cowardly beta males and bearded pansies should stay under the porch.
