Why is it now that Trump has an issue with the NFL and the players? [View all]

1) He thinks he can shame them and feed his basic.
2) He wants to make more news concerning himself and feed his base.
3) He knows he won't get his way, so he needs keep his base.
4) He is looking to pick a fight with anyone he can, to feed his base.
5) He is listening to Fox News and they're provoking this by rhetoric for his base.

It is all about his base, being a bully, and his rhetoric. Not Colin Kaepernick, it is all about Trump! Maybe some feel that what the NFL did yesterday was wrong, but you know what? They did not just have a few kneel, lock arms or stayed in the locker room, the whole league did it as one. What can you say about that? It shows unity and that is what we need out of our government. This is one thing the NFL has gotten right.
