      Last September, President Trump demanded that the NFL fine or suspend players who don’t stand for the national anthem. The NFL complied, announcing its new policy in May. Last night, he said staying in the locker room is the same as kneeling. 1/2pic.twitter.com/xrSPlMsmbf

      Logically, this suggests either that Trump is inconsistent in his beliefs about forced acts of patriotic demonstration or he believes players should be fined for failing to be on the field to participate. Will be interesting to see if he pressures the NFL again. 2/2

          How about he doesn’t have an actual feeling about the NFL other than he’s bitter, and that this is all a play to his base?

          I think he knows his base loves the topic of protesting the anthem and he is trying to keep the issue alive right before midterms.

          tRump believes this is winning issue (culture war)4 him so he will continue to make a big deal about it. His base loves this stuff. Forcing "all" players 2 heel at the feet of this man is what he wants.The NFL made grave mistake in giving in 2 him.

          Or, he’s just trying to rile up his white base by hating on the black players.

          It's unAmerican to *require* non-military to salute the flag. This has never been required in the USA....It wasn't even part of NFL games until recently. Trump's statement is very creepy. 'Do it because the president says so...'

          you forget about thenully mentality. You assume he does these things for the good of the country, in which case he would stop when the desired result is attained. But bullies dont stop, because they are addicted.
