Trump is that fan that watches football on TV, calls into sports radio, yet somehow convinced the...

owner that he should be the coach of the team.

So now that he's coach, he's realizing that being the coach is a real job and is a lot more hard work than he anticipated. He thought that standing on the sidelines looking "strong" was enough to be a coach.

Now, he did inherit a good team from the previous coach, but he threw away that coach's playbook. And now the team is losing and there's fighting in the lockeroom.

So, what does Trump do? He blames his assistant coaches for the turmoil. He works his favorite sports call in shows to spin the narrative that it's not about him.

As owners, we need to fire this coach come November.

And he repeatedly calls into the sports talk station and says things like "Hey! Don't you think Flanders is a big jerk?".

Our team has scored no points, lost every game by 60+ points.

He lets the coach of a rival team design the plays and tell us who to draft.

Heck, the offense hasn't made a first down or completed a forward pass in three years because he fired all the competent players and assistant coaches. Even the new cheerleaders that he hired don't do anything but scream childish insults at the fans.

The concession stands are operated by his children and feature higher prices and food poisoning.

The stadium is now dangerous and for some reason been modified to be flammable.

Other teams don't want to play us anymore because they are afraid of catching a disease.

We get first found draft picks every year now, but they fight extradition.
