FULL TITLE: Trump says he brought up NFL protests because he was 'ashamed' of what was taking place insisting he's not 'preoccupied' with the issue that has overshadowed Puerto Rico catastrophe
President Donald Trump defended his intense focus on the NFL protest issue insisting at a White House press conference Tuesday that the topic was 'very important' and that he was not 'preoccupied' with it.
The president said his administration was 'doing a great job' contending with the devastation in Puerto Rico and otherwise handling the duty of his office.
'I have heard that before about was I preoccupied. Not at all. Not at all. I have plenty of time on my hands. All I do is work,' Trump said.
He called kneeling during the National Anthem, as players have done during games, 'disgraceful,' and invoked grievously injured American troops who served their country to bolster his view.

For a man as patriotic and close to our vets as Trump, it must really sting to see multimillionaires show such disrespect.
I know how he feels
End of season contract negotiations after your conduct devalued your employers business by 25% should be really fun to follow!
If left to me I would have revoked their passports on the spot.
I sure hope this video goes viral and that President Trump sees it as well as the sponsors of the NFL!
Burning season tickets!

See my post. Owners just negotiated a 25% cut in contracts next year on this stunt.
I think the NFL is tax-exempt also it is way past time to stop paying for their stadiums.
There are so many in the black community who are Americans. These Americans I love and would fight for.
As for the African-Americans, it’s time to shed the identity politics, victimhood and your bigotry of whites. I am so done with the racist crap.
Over at The_Donald they have been highlighting the crimes of the current roster of NFL players. It’s nauseating.
When will he go after the purge of our statues?
O.J. did it.
The MSM conveniently forgets that the thugs were wearing socks that called cops “pigs”. The idiocy and hypocrisy of the left and the NFL is deafening.
These NFL creeps think that giving the knee to the flag and Anthem is OK, this act profoundly upsets me. Would they be offended if I were to call them the N-word? It’s the same thing.
He’s our voice.
God Bless and Protect President Trump!
the Left can’t complain about Houston, or Louisiana, or Florida...all that’s left is to whine about an island in the middle of the Caribbean.
But what really ticks me off, is that the men and women of the military have been kicking butt since Harvey getting aid to the islands and chasing the machete-burglers back under their rocks. And the Left wants to harp a week after the fact like it’s a Katrina? It was worse than Katrina, and in spite of Puerto Rico being an ungrateful territory that has no way to recover on their own because they’re bankrupt from corruption, we’re landing aid flights on the hour every hour, as if they were our best friends. And the same goes for the USVI. Katrina indeed - What a bunch of low-life propaganda delivered by low-life propagandists.

Trump is doing well with providing hurricane relief wherever it's needed. Therefore, the Enemedia must bash him on other issues.
Anyone else question his patriotism? Trump loves our country. If this were hillary, Dear God...
Not just Hillary - if this was Jeb or another weak RINO you can bet your last dollar they would shirk from defending our flag.
They got used to this...
Hell o chill dren! Uhhhh
