It's not that it triggers the president as much as he knows it riles up the bases of both sides and divides the country even more than it already is. That, and he hates that so many successful people don't respect him and he thinks he can boss them around.

It has proven to be a successful avenue to shore up his support, who are largely critical of both POC-focused protests and the idea that there is validity to their complaints.

It’s that authoritarian streak in him. He doesn’t understand freedom.

It doesn’t! It’s just 1 of those talking point, rhetoric, bullshit that his supporters connect w him for! He just uses it to cause division! Cmon, you know this already! He could care less if you stood for the anthem and you know it! He needs to be impeached before US is nothing!

Probably the same reason it bothers alot of us. Us normal people can't take a knee at our job, we'd get fired. Protest on your own time. Also I spent 18 yrs moving all over the world as a military spouse. The kneelers don't understand sacrifice for this country.

Nothing says freedom like compulsory flag worship.

On the job, yes. On their own time they are welcome to kneel, burn the flag, whatever. I defend their freedom of speech, but not on the job. What would you do if the check out person at a store said hold on, can't check you out, even though it's my job; I have to kneel right now?

Probably walk out, or not, depending on how bad I need a product, judgement call. Company has right to fire them depending on contract signed at time of hire. Property rights and contracts, no government needed.
