President Donald Trump was up early again Tuesday morning, firing off angry tweets about NFL players’ protests during the national anthem.
Trump has been on a tear since his Friday night rally in Alabama, where he said that any “son of a bitch” who protests during the national anthem should be fired. As more players and teams drop to one knee as the national anthem plays at football games, the President’s anger has grown.
On Monday night, the Dallas Cowboys and the team’s owner, Jerry Jones, who is a Trump supporter, took a knee before the national anthem and then rose for the song. Trump called this “big progress” in his Tuesday morning tweetstorm.
Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!

The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest I have ever heard. Great anger

But while Dallas dropped to its knees as a team, they all stood up for our National Anthem. Big progress being made-we all love our country!

Trump also fumed on Twitter Monday night, going after CNN for reporting that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly is not happy with Trump’s war against NFL players.
.@CNN is #FakeNews. Just reported COS (John Kelly) was opposed to my stance on NFL players disrespecting FLAG, ANTHEM, COUNTRY. Total lie!

General John Kelly totally agrees w/ my stance on NFL players and the fact that they should not be disrespecting our FLAG or GREAT COUNTRY!

Tremendous backlash against the NFL and its players for disrespect of our Country.#StandForOurAnthem??

Kelly did tell CNN that he is “appalled” by the protests, which the network emphasized Monday night in a tweet pushing back against Trump’s attack.
False. CNN reporting COS unhappy w @POTUS's NFL war but "appalled" by players' lack of respect. Those are the facts.https://t.co/c3Ht9DcuVF

He must have had tacos last night. Dude apparently was on the shitter quite a bit.
When this narcissistic lunatic finally croaks it’ll be akin to having an abscessed tooth pulled. All the pain and irritation is suddenly relieved and you can get back to living normally.
So, your destruction of Ocare is failing, your tax cuts for the rich are now in jeopardy, you have no idea what to do about NK and don’t give a damn about Puerto Rico.
Once that little hamster between his ears climbs onto the exercise wheel, it just keeps turning and turning and turning. When it has to poop, it jumps out, looks at twitter, gulps another topic and hops back onto the wheel, this time spinning about what just caught its attention.
Trump is only trolling to mobilize his base, for he will eventually need support against impeachment, and he’s making it “Us vs Them” for his base.
Trump is a draft dodger and pussy grabber who now plays on people’s patriotism and religion.
Fascism is indeed back draped in the flag and carrying a cross.
