Trump warns NFL protesters that citizenship is conditional: 'Maybe you shouldn't be in the country'

Travis Gettys 24 MAY 2018 AT 06:50 ET

President Donald Trump praised NFL owners for banning sideline protests of racism and police brutality — and suggested players who kneel should be removed from the country.

“I don’t think people should be staying in locker rooms, but still I think it’s good — you have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn’t be playing, you shouldn’t be there,” Trump said.

He went even further, and suggested that citizenship was conditional.

“Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country,” Trump said. “You have to stand proudly for the national anthem, and the NFL owners have done the right thing, if that’s what they’ve done.”

The Constitution prohibits the President from taking bribes from foreign countries.

Our president is much more un American than those who protest injustice by kneeling.

If he advocates kicking people out of the country, himself and the rest of the Trump Crime Family should be first.

Second, from reading the factual history of WW1 and WW2, t-rump is sounding more and more like a crazed dictator. The GOP needs to stop this, but alas, they are working with him.

We can't get rid of this rancid pile of excrement and the rest of his racist crime syndicate soon enough.

I hope this explodes in the NFL's face big-time.

The moral authority lecturing citizens on what patriotism is. But we don’t live in dystopian hellscape or anything.

I'm too ashamed of this country to do so.
