45 knew exactly how big the controversy would be when he called the guy an SOB. It was a manipulation to take minds off what he really does not want people to see and talk about . He has used this trick many times already. The weather has devastated many parts of our country. Many people are in dire condition. He is about to get us into a nuclear war. Health care is a complete disaster. The list goes on and on. This insult to sports players is a red herring he threw out there . Although he should just STFU because no one and I mean NO one has disrespected this country more than he has.

There is nothing up there in that head. You cannot look for any rational reason why he does these things. There aren't any rational reasons.

(2,533 posts)in my opinion. I think he's an asshole that knows how to draw attention from the media when he wants to. You don't have to be a genius to do that. He's a crass opportunist & always has been. Spewing hypocrisy? WTF lol

(6,373 posts)Not everything he says is a distraction. Sometimes, he just says really stupid stuff off the top of his head.

(36,248 posts)Time and time agaim he torpedoes his own agenda. Failure to repeal Obamacare is largely his own fault. Rather then working the phones with Congress critters and holding rallies to get his base to apply pressure on Repubs sitting on the frnce, he gets into a childish pissy fit wih the NFL, NBA and the players.
There's no 3-D chess going on here. Trump is struggling learning the rules of how to run a goverment checkers. He's a conman, a talented carnival barker and that got him into office.

(12,344 posts)He has only one agenda - to feel good about himself. He doesn't care about healthcare or any other policy issue. He only cares about filling the black hole inside. If he can't fill with a policy victory, he will fill it by taking pot shots at football players.

(36,248 posts)He'll work with Democrats if that will give him a victory that he can boast about. He has no core political or moral values. Everything is negotiable as long as he gets some kind of win.
