President Donald Trump viewed his attacks on kneeling National Football League players as a beneficial political wedge issue, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The revelation came in a sworn deposition by Dallas Cowboy’s owner Jerry Jones, who recounted a phone call from the commander-in-chief last fall.

“This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” Trump reportedly told the billionaire team owner.

“Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me,” Trump continued.

The White House claims the President was actually advising Jones on the best course for America and the good of the sport of football.

1. He truly does fit the definition of a megalomaniac.

Psychiatry. a symptom of mental illness marked by delusions of greatness, wealth, etc.
an obsession with doing extravagant or grand things.

He believes that the world revolves around him and he can dictate terms to make the world run the way that pleases him.

2. How fucking sad...

... the "President" of the United States gets "lifted" by attacking NFL players with a trite, overblown wedge issue.

3. Watch for major disruptions

coming to a NFL game near you. If one thinks the Players Association is going to be silent,guess again.

4. "This one lifts ME."

"This is a very winning, strong issue for ME."

That's all that matters to him.

5. It allows him and the deplorables to attempt to hide their racism behind the flag but we see them.

6. Taking a knee - Pence, the GOP and the NFL owners. . .

7. He also gets to get even with his 'enemies' in the NFL, for that humiliating defeat they

delivered to him in his USFL lawsuit.

He 'doesn't remember' which russians he colluded with 5 minutes ago, but he never forgets a grudge, a defeat, or a reality tv style feud.
