I admire Rush almost more than anyone in the communication business, but his comments about President Trump’s influence over the NFL was a stretch to say the least and I fear it fueled the fire of Trump’s enemies.
the Hill is making much more of the comment than Rush did... and they omit everything else.
Exactly.
Rush’s enemies and Trump’s enemies will try to use this as a wedge and will create headlines out of this. Rush should have been more careful. Know he’s on 3 hours, but any slight misstep like this - and against what he’s been saying for weeks - will be taken out of context.
Rush likely got a call from a friend that owns an NFL team (free sky box tickets?) who complained about Trump ‘threatening’ them.
Trump’s enemies are burning as brightly as they can. More fuel to them makes no addition to the heat and glare of the flame. Deferring to his enemies would bring more opprobrium on him from those enemies because they would perceive him to be thus weak and nothing is more Liberally noble than to kick a conservative when he is perceived to be down.
Bingo....Trump is smarter than Rush
assumes....Odungo thought about himself....Trump is thinking country
Trump is not making laws here.
Trump is speaking as an individual who happens to be president.
BIG difference.

Frankly, Rush is no friend of Trump! He was anti-Trump during the primaries. And, he always talks about Trump supporters as if he isn't one. I heard the remarks yesterday and thought he was fueling the flames of anti-Trumpness!
