Trump has the worst week ever and all he cares about is NFL players taking a knee?

[MrScorpio]

Talk about his inability to focus, it's more like chronic dementia.

He's not going to get any milage out of Tourettesing his racist bullshit this week, especially this week of all weeks. Let's say that another game is afoot... Right up his traitorous ass and with Mueller's name on the heel.

"Football? He's tweeting about football? Oh my gawd."

I can just imagine his staff shitting their Underoos once they got word that he's pretty much ordering Goodell to intervene in a losing battle.

I tell ya, tertiary syphilis is no picnic.

1. He's desperate to energize his base

It's good to see the NFL possibly backing off.

[theaocp]

2. D.I.S.T.R.A.C.T.I.O.N.

Don't fall for the racist, low-hanging fruit. Eyes on the prize.

[smirkymonkey]

22. It's like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

Is anybody really falling for this shit anymore? It's so obvious.

[Turbineguy]

3. He seems to be running out

of ideas for distraction. Bullshit overload.

[beachbum bob]

4. It's defying his edict and no one defies his edict

Why he wants to be a dictator

[edbermac]

5. Who took a knee in Helsinki?

[RockRaven]

6. He's desperately hoping that's all GOP voters care about... nt

[Legends303]

7. because he wants to amp up the culture wars

his base loves that

[AmandaRuth]

8. i dare him to ruin football 2 years in a row

tipping point for a lot of MAGA's. he is so stupid

[techne7319]

9. It's not about football...

It’s about PATRIOTISM. You know, standing up for our flag, the country and all the virtues and freedoms it represents. He sets such a good example for all of us

[MrScorpio]

10. He doesn't even believe that garbage

The only thing he’s doing is triggering his racist wypipo base.

And all the rubes are falling for it.

If he cared about patriotism, he would defer to the 1st Amendment and freedom from police oppression.

[techne7319]

11. I don't disagree

with you. It’s just that he has invoked patriotism as his reasons for making kneeling during the national anthem a punishable offense, and in light of his recently revealed activities, it only adds to his hypocritical behavior.
I wasn’t intending to get deep with it. Although I realize the seriousness of his destructive tactics and desire to divide this country, I was just adding a little sarcasm to the issue.

[MrScorpio]

12. It's amazing that his cult doesn't realize that he has no principles beyond himself

Especially from the way that he’s selling out the country to Russia and China.

He’s the most anti-American US President in this country’s history.

[techne7319]

16. His cult

doesn’t seem to care about any of it as long as he defeats liberals and diminishes equal freedoms for all people regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc... it’s cultural cleansing

[MrScorpio]

21. They're delusional if they think he's "defeating" liberals

All he’s doing is digging his own grave by stabbing his base in their backs.

Farmers can’t harvest their crops because there’s no one to pick them, manufacturers are being hammered by tariffs and he’s cutting the safety net which mostly supports his poor, white base.

They call that “winning?”

After he’s done persecuting black and brown people in this country, who do they think he’s going after next?

[techne7319]

25. Not to mention

affordable healthcare, a functional and safe school system, and fair taxes.
Yes, they are delusional and very short-sighted. Should his agenda continue and find future fruition, they will all suffer greatly in due time

[dalton99a]

19. Trump honors the flag:

[Cha]

13. Traitor made himself the Worst week and now he's trying to distrcract with Football Players.

[Raine]

14. Diversion

often when I have a bad day or bad week I divert myself with way less important issues just to take my mind off my BIG problem.

[Scurrilous]

15. And it's baseball season!

[techne7319]

17. NFL preseason

starts August 2nd. So it is just around the corner.

[oberliner]

18. He doesn't care about NFL players taking a knee

[Saguaro]

20. He's trying to change the narrative, but it won't work this time.

[Demovictory9]

23. He is very calculating. Throwing base the racism red meat

[lunasun]

24. He has a bucket of red meat with a different BS rant on each one to throw to his

deplorables when times are hard for him
People peacefully protesting will send them into a frenzy

Oh, and it is July where I'm at . Who the hell is thinking about football games right now ?
He is getting lame and stinky
Sad, as he would say

[GulfCoast66]

26. Look!! A squirrel!!

[Ferrets are Cool]

27. It gives Faux nuze something to talk about for 3 days...nt

[Funtatlaguy]

28. I'll stand for the anthem

When Trump gets off of his knees for Putin.

[NCTraveler]

29. Going back to his wheelhouse.

His comfort zone.

[Garrett78]

30. It's strategic on the part of Trump or whoever wrote that tweet.

It's more than a mere distraction.

At a time when Trump is being called treasonous and unpatriotic, he's reminding his racist following that the treasonous and unpatriotic ones are those (insert 'n' word) who disrespect the nation (e.g., by silently and peacefully making a statement about an epidemic of police brutality, including murder).

Trump must keep his base fed during troubling times, and this tweet is more germane than one might think at first glance.
