Orange shitgibbon bragging to massive cheers last night that he "heard the former San Francisco QB can't get a job because the NFL owners are scared of getting a Trump tweet".
Let's dismiss for a second that actual crazy shit of talking about yourself 3RD person all the time. Let's dismiss for a second that if Kapfernick were talented enough to lead their team to a Super Bowl, NFL owners wouldn't care if he pissed on the flag...they'd sign him anyway.
Let's forget all that and zero in on the President of the United States singling out a "private" American citizen and ruining them financially. Let's zero in on the President of the United States using his position to make a "private" American citizen unemployable.
I don't care what you think about Kapfernick's protest, that is not acceptable behavior in a President. Never has been and should never be.
I would caution President "33% approval rating" though. Do you really want public opinion to impact a person's ability to make money?
I'd be careful there President "less welcome than a raging case of genital Herpes". Maybe we can ensure you never make another fucking dime in America.
I'm not sure President "less popular than an anal abscess" wants to go down this road.

(42,704 posts)Of course Trump bragging that he somehow is responsible for keeping NFL teams from signing Kaepernick (correct spelling) is outrageous. But bragging about something doesn't make it so. And unless Kaepernick could prove that the reason NFL teams haven't signed him is because they're fearful of a Trump tweet, he loses his lawsuit. And its unimaginable that he could prove such a thing.
