Donald Trump: Roger Goodell should have suspended Colin Kaepernick for protest during anthem

Source: MSN/Sporting News

Donald Trump continued to make comments on the protests going on in the NFL during a fundraising event Tuesday night. According to the New York Times, "For a cool quarter-million dollars per couple, wealthy Republican donors participated in a 'private round-table' with" Trump.

Reporter Kenneth P. Vogel attended the event, and he says Trump brought up Kaepernick and the protest discussion.

Vogel also reports Trump said "everybody" agrees with his objections to NFL player kneeling during the anthem, and that his viewpoints have “caught on.”

In addition to speaking at fundraisers, Trump has continued sending his message through his Twitter account. On Tuesday morning he tweeted the NFL should make it a rule where players are forced to stand for the anthem.

Nice to know that with millions of American at risk in Puerto Rico, Donald Trump remains focused on our nation's priorities. Discussing the actions that a former football player took last year. Perhaps Trump will start a twitter debate on who was the most annoying character on Friends.

"Many, many people support me" means two people agree.

The anthem is a song and the flag a piece of cloth. What this nation is, is embodied in the constitution. Until equal justice is respected it is the constitution that is disrespected. Remember if they don't have the right to kneel in protest, you don't have the right to kneel in prayer.

It's like the guy knows his presidency is a failure, so instead of even trying to turn things around he's going for a level of suck no one will ever surpass.

Either that, or he's trying to keep the deplorables from noticing he can't repeal Obamacare, he can't get his Wall, he hasn't deported all the Mexicans, he is talking about raising their taxes to pay for cutting his, and his own daughter is using private email for official business.
