Dimwit Trump vs NFL= Bull Crap

President Donald Trump vs the NFL.  What a farce.

This stupid little war is basically what Trump would label FAKE NEWS--a manufactured nothing of a story that's being covered to death by the media.

First let me make this perfectly clear. I hate Trump. He's vile, shallow, despicable, loathsome, shockingly ignorant and woefully corrupt. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Furthermore, he's a world-class liar, a bully, a sexual predator, a con-man and a white supremacist. Though totally unfit for the Presidency, he was voted in by selfish, small-minded Republicans who were seduced by his glittering assortment of lies. By a country mile, he's the worst President in our nation's history.

Considering Trump is doing his damnedest to drag the country down in so many areas, it's inevitable he'd somehow stick his nose into sports. So what he's done is start a juvenile war with the NFL

Trump began the conflict by attacking players who kneel during the pregame performance of the National Anthem, charging that's disrespecting the Flag and the military. He urged team owners to fire the protesters. Of course that would be a violation of the players' constitutional rights but Trump, who's clearly ignorant of the Constitution, has no idea about that.  He has been particularly vicious when talking about QB Colin Kaepernick, who started the kneel-down protest movement last season when he was with the San Francisco 49ers.

For the last two Sundays this conflict has been an irritating distraction at games. With his                    relentless barrage of nasty tweets, Trump inflames patriotic fans, who boo the players who, in turn, angrily defy the President and his supporters with assorted protests during the pregame National Anthem. I don't know about you, but I prefer not to have my sporting events sullied by politics.

Trump created the war by twisting and trampling on Kaepernick's original point. With his kneel-down protest, the QB, who's part African American, aimed to call attention to police brutality against blacks. But Trump blatantly ignored Kaepernick's purpose, claiming the protest was actually a slight against the Flag and the military.

Who's kidding who? Do you think Trump, a bogus patriot and a thoroughly amoral egomaniac, really gives a damn about the Flag or the military being disrespected? Hell, no. All Trump cares about is Trump.

Here's the real reason Trump trumped up this battle with the NFL:

Sources close to the President have revealed he started the squabble with pro football simply to create a distraction, arguably the most popular tactic in the Trump public relations arsenal. When he doesn't want you to focus on Point A he vigorously draws your attention to Point B.

Trump is hoping  this fan-friendly, juicy battle with the NFL will  steer  people away from special prosecutor Robert Mueller's probe into the 2016 Trump election campaign's ties with Russia. Just about every day some damning tidbit leaks out that makes serious against the President and his gang more likely.

Also, Trump blasting America's most popular sport for patriotic reasons is a move geared to delight members of his base, mostly a rural and lower-middle class crowd that appreciates a hearty defense of the Flag and the military.

But if you regard Trump as a cheap imitation of a President, don't get sucked into his dumb little scrap with the NFL. It's not worth your time and energy. Instead focus on everything he doesn't want you to focus on--all the dirt related to the Mueller investigation, dirt that hopefully will get this clown booted out of office.
