What strikes me most about Trump's fury towards NFL players

[RandySF]

is how that contrasted with the timidity he displayed when he "condemned" white supremacists. That's I all the time I want to spend on THIS topic.

1. +1000

Excellent observation that everyone should think about and ask themselves - why is that?

[TDale313]

5. We know why that is.

He's a racist pos. It's not part of his schtick- it's possibly the least fake thing we see from him. (Also the sexism) It infuriates him when anyone- but *especially* poc (or women)- are not showing him the respect he feels entitled to.

12. Respect has to be earned.

tRump has never "earned" a thing worth having in his entire life. He has "earned" disgust, however.

10. Trump vs. Obama

Proof there is no such thing as white supremacy.

15. Yep, that pretty much says it all.

He is such a fucking bastard!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Lays it out in Black & White. . . . nt

3. A number of athletes made the same point.

He's not even trying to hide the racism anymore.

[HipChick]

4. I am not aware of him every trying to hide it before..

[unblock]

6. And yet the media seem incapable of stating the obvious

They seem to think that until he actually uses the n-word, he's couldn't possibly be a racist, no matter what he says.

20. the MEdia has been colluding since reagan & welfare queens AND as far as NIXON and the southern

stategy. hell, they have not questioned the system ever. 'objectivity' & all.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Fair point.

It's just so blatant that I'm still shocked every time I hear it from him - even though I clearly know better by now.

[Thrill]

22. Where are the white athletes though?

Has to be more to stand up than just Chris Long

[benfranklin1776]

8. Yes that says it all about his true racist beliefs.

By his deeds you know him. Anyone that still supports him in my view endorses his racism so they are as bad as him.

[ailsagirl]

9. His priorities absolutely flabbergast me

[Promee]

11. At this point, he's really only one step up from...

...telling those "very fine" white owners that they need to get those ______ players back in line.

[czarjak]

16. "God-damned nwordz"? It's what I hear in Lubbock...

[Promee]

19. Yeah....

...pretty much.

Same thing I heard in Michigan.

[czarjak]

21. SHHHHHHHHHHH...

Supposed to be a secret.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

13. Thanks for post. Well stated...short and to the point!

[DesertRat]

14. He didn't lash out when Tom Brady skipped the WH visit.

Wonder why?

[C Moon]

17. He must be trying to bury something that he doesn't want on the "front page."
