Lyin' Donald Trump Smacked By Eagles

Hurrah for the Philadelphia Eagles!

Donald Trump, the lying, racist, sexist bully who scammed his way into the White House with the aid of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and his pack of thugs, got smacked squarely in the face by the Super Bowl champs. They were supposed to be honored at a White House ceremony this week, hosted by Trump. But he withdrew the invite when he found out that nearly all the team was boycotting the event.

That prompted this despicable clown to do what he does best---lie. His plan was to make himself look good and the Eagles look bad. So he blamed the Eagles' negative response to the White House invitation on their anger at his hand in the new NFL policy penalizing players for kneeling during the pregame performance of the National Anthem.

What a blatant lie.

Eagle players weren't even into kneeling during the Anthem. One player knelt during Anthems in preseason but didn't make the team. Trump didn't want to acknowledge the real reason for the team's rejection because it's embarrassing to him. It's very simple. In several tweets some Eagles made it very clear they were skipping the White House event because they don't want to associate with a man they consider to be a rotten human being.

What riles the Eagles and most NFL players is that Trump deviously twisted that kneeling gesture, created by Colin Kaepernick when he was a 49er QB, into something it was never intended to be. Trump insisted the purpose of the gesture was to disrespect the Flag and the military. But Kaepernick and the players were actually protesting police brutality suffered by people of color. Trump knew very well that he was misrepresenting the players' purpose.  For him, though, this kind of corrupt behavior has become routine.

Buoyed by Trump's misleading interpretation of the kneeling gesture,  the NFL dipped at the box office and in TV ratings last season. Some fans, mainly those in Trump's base who blindly believe anything he says, branded the NFL as unpatriotic and backed away from it.

To avoid further fan erosion, the NFL clamped down on kneeling. So now players must protest by remaining in the locker room during the Anthem. That's a pretty pathetic, punch-less way of protesting. But for the players it's do it that way or face a penalty.

Did Trump really think the Eagles would ignore his evil deeds and meekly show up at some ceremony he was hosting at the White House? If so, he's delusional.

So the Eagles made an enemy, a very powerful enemy who will be sniping at them and tweeting
snide comments whenever possible.

But clearly, by their defiant response, the Eagles are telling Trump they can
handle anything he can dish out.

Again, Bravo Eagles!
