Trump: NFL should fire players who kneel during anthem

[The Free North]

The ironic thing for Trump is that he's making things worse.

Its the classic defense dilemma situation.

He's actually convinced players that were not originally protesting that they should start protesting because he's proved the initial protesters theories correct (that hes a villain, the world is against them, etc). If Trump had come out and said he supported them or had said nothing, much of this would have faded away into nothing.

But once again, like with North Korea and everything else, Trump is not intelligent enough to realize that his actions and words are literally making the things he's 'fighting' against even stronger.

Also Mike Francesa is spot on regarding the actual protests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYEs_EqFpqo&t=8s

The response you will see today is just further evidence of the point I brought up on Saturday: had Trump never said anything, none of this would have happened, the fringe of the NFL would have done their thing, and life would have gone on. BUT because Trump is a moron, he's actually incited many of the more 'moderate' players and convinced them that the fringe was actually correct all along.

Its the same crap we pulled in the Middle East. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda rant about how the US is controlling muslim countries, overthrowing regimes, etc....no one cares, then they attack us and we play right into their hands to radicalize thousands of more fighters.

This is all in the context that Trump doesn't want to do much to improve the underlying friction causing these protests in the first place. So again, the best thing for him to do would have been ignore and dismiss and hope it goes away by itself, but that proved to be far too difficult for him.

Indeed. How quickly we forget..
