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.

I'm sure that there were patriotic players that were upset with what barry hussein soetoro had to say about the US military, Christians, the police and America but they didn't use their celebrity status to spit on the president and give a big middle finger to the fans that pay their salary and to the country that makes their livelihood possible.

Of course, if they had does anyone doubt that they would have been disciplined or cut?

8 yrs of soetoro telling blacks that America and Whitey are racist didn't improve their lot but it has led us here, today, with a seething hatred of America and White people within the black community.

The problem here is not connecting the dots to the democrats who created a needed racial divisuon when Obama through the use of his office and the “Bully Pulpit” began creating “victims” out of blacks engaged in criminal activities who were not just resisting legal arrest but responding by attacking legal authority and endangering their lives .

Until this get exposed along with its political purposes the continung political discourse which has been exanded to include “white guilt” will continue.

I’m ashamed of the NFL. All Trump does is work and all ObamaCare did was vacation.
