Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump fired back at San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick Monday over not standing during the national anthem.
During a radio interview with Seattle-based radio host Dori Monson, Trump said that he wasn't a fan of the move, saying Kaepernick should "find a country" that would suit him better.
"I have followed it, and I think it's personally not a good thing. I think it's a terrible thing," Trump told the host. "Maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It won't happen."
The GOP nominee also continued critique of former Rep. Anthony Weiner after Huma Abedin, his wife and a top aide to Hillary Clinton, announced their separation Monday morning. Trump called him a "sick person," adding that he isn't sure if people like Weiner can "get cured" of what ails him...

Probably the media mandarins think that this statement will hurt Trump with black people...
I hear the Congo has EXCELLENT real estate, Colon should check it out..and see what REAL oppression looks like
Perfect answer by Trump: “Maybe he should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It won’t happen.”
A candidate not afraid to speak the truth!
Beautiful.
On target again, Mr. Trump.
There's all sorts of countries in which he could be rewarded equally well for his athletic prowess and his willingness to insult every veteran in the place. I'm listing them here:
Yeah, those.
He’s going to lose the San Francisco vote now, for sure. The media and NeverTrumpers will go apoplectic over this, but the pro-America voters will love him even more.
Can you imagine Jeb Bush giving such a response?
More likely, Jeb would be calling it an “act of love” or some such.
Colin who?
The guy’s got a contract to be paid more than a hundred million dollars (playing football). If he thinks he’s oppressed I suggest he go elsewhere where he believes he’ll be happier. We sure don’t need another “oppressed” malcontent here. We already got the illegal infiltrator in chief and his “oppressed” (”let them eat alfalfa”) wife.
Thank you Mr. Trump.
I can’t imagine what Jeb the liberal goober would say; only that I’m certain it would be stupid.
And that his response would be learned from NWO Daddy and Mommy.
Off target again; Clinton, and to some degree Obama, are the target. Perhaps he is baiting them; I don't see how this gains him undecided voters. Trump must be careful and not elevate Karpernick to victim status by disparaging his ethnicity (born in Milwaukee) or religion (converted to Islam). Caution is advised. Stay over target Clinton.
No, the target is anti-American sentiments. He is showing the contrast between him and Obummer.
Nah, it’s well-played. People are sick of this fifth-column attitude. You may not agree and you are entitled to that, for sure.
