~9K ppl in an Huntsville auditorium. trump couldn't keep to a political script, (say only good things about Strange& nothing about the other republican candidate). He tried redreating one of his rallies, and used a clear racist dogwhistle about AA football players & their supporters taking a knee during the Nationsl Anthem. He called Colin Kapernick an SOB, there by dissing him and his Mother.
Tomorrows NFL games are going to be interesting.

Unbelievable.

Donald Trump launched a sensational attack on NFL players who have kneeled in protest of the national anthem during a speech in Alabama on Friday night, challenging the league’s owners to release anyone who engages in the movement started last year by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’” the president said at a rally at Huntsville’s Von Braun Center in support of Republican senator Luther Strange, who is running in a special GOP primary election next week to remain in the Senate seat vacated by attorney general Jeff Sessions. ...

The president then encouraged American people attending NFL games to leave the stadium in a show of counter-protest if they see a player kneeling during the anthem, which is traditionally performed before kickoff.

Hurricane Don was in fine form, rambling and hitting a wide range of subjects, which is generating articles on various aspects of his cluelessness, racism, and general buffoonery.

Even if you cannot see humor others do, such as in POTUS going to an Alabama rally specifically to endorse its candidate and then announcing right on the stage that maybe that's a mistake and announcing support for the opposition as well ( ), it's inappropriate to question the morality of others who do, which is what is going on here.

Trump is neither funny, nor amusing under any circumstances. He is a total disgrace to the office of the president, and to this country -- period.
