    Excellent post. One of the main reasons Trump got elected was his being "an outsider" from the political establishment. The downside of this is that most successful politicians usually have in their inner circle, a mentor who is being that angel/devil on the shoulder saying "good idea" or "no, I'd rethink that." Trump doesn't have that, and - from a PR standpoint - he desperately needs one. He's more like the stereotypical business tycoon you'd see in old movies, navigating through his day with a couple of minions in tow. Every time he pauses for breath, one of them says,"You're absolutely right, Mr. Trump." At the very least, he needs someone whose opinion and judgement he respects has to forcefully tell him, "GET OFF TWITTER!!"

    No I don’t. I ask for true facts separated from opinion. Which is usually never.

    I do understand quite well his motives and try to educate some of you to his tactics. Though, very few listen and are made a fool like CNN.

    Trump is a shit poster. I do it all the time. I’m an expert on it.

    If that were true yea. And the and the NFL is free to make new rules and Trump is free to complain about it like majority of NFL fans.

    Twitter is his only recourse via the constant attacks on him and his family. Although he perpetuates it by his childish responses. Not something anyone likes to see out of their president.

    Both sides are over the top but it's a game I never thought he could win. The attacks from the left and msm are never going to stop as they excel in this game and hes one person. He simply can't win. There is real social pressure to hate the guy and its effective. It's why the polls never indicated he had a shot. No middle ground is allowed.

    Engage your brain no one has the power to stop them from doing whatever they want to do in government they just have right to not like it. So the NFL has now said they cant kneel on the field, you agree with that? They not Trump can compell them.

    How does disrespecting the flag have anything whatsoever to do with police brutality against anybody? If that's what they want to protest shouldn't they be holding a sign outside of a police station instead?

    Send them to Cabrini Green in Chicago or South Central in Los Angles. Why dont they walk the walk. They would probably be too afaird to go in there. They are chickens shits who are shitting all over their fans. I hope they keep it up.
