Trump went on to criticize the NFL for rules meant increase player safety.

“The NFL ratings are down massively,” he said. “Now the No. 1 reason happens to be they like watching what’s happening with yours truly. They like what’s happening. Because you know today if you hit too hard – 15 yards! Throw him out of the game! .?.?. They’re ruining the game! That’s what they want to do. They want to hit. They want to hit! It is hurting the game.”


In a statement Saturday morning, NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith said, “The union .?.?. will never back down when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of our players as citizens as well as their safety as men who compete in a game that exposes them to great risks.”

What would be the best position for him?

QB? Would be easy to annihilate him.
WR? He wouldn't be able to catch anything.
Center? Hmmm
Walking Back?

But there would need to be an incentive for a team to draft him. Such as 4 first round draft choices in the next draft.

He wants to see immigrants hurt. He wants to see women hurt. He wants to see political opponents hurt. He wants to see activists hurt. He wants to see anti-nazi citizens hurt. He wants to see protestors hurt. He wants to see journalists and reporters hurt. etc. etc.

He wants to see EVERYBODY hurt. And he SAYS it, openly, publicly, ALL the TIME.
