Chris Paul: Trump isn't 'man enough' to call athletes 'son of a b----' to their face

Source: The Hill




BY BRANDON CARTER - 09/23/17 12:36 PM EDT

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul said Saturday President Trump isn’t “man enough” to call athletes a “son of a b----“ to their faces after Trump used the term to describe athletes who kneel during the national anthem.

“With everything that's going on in our country, why are YOU focused on who's kneeling and visiting the White House??? #StayInYoLane,” Paul tweeted. “And I doubt he's man enough to call any of those players a son of a bitch to their face…”






Paul, who also serves as the president of the NBA Players Association, joined a host of other athletes calling out Trump for his attacks on athletes. Paul also called the president out for saying Golden State Warriors’ guard Stephen Curry is no longer invited to visit the White House following their championship win.

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a b---- off the field right now,'" Trump said Friday, adding, "'He is fired.'"

Remember, tRump's mail order nude model bride had to nudge him with her bony elbow to remind him to put his hand on his heart (or where it would be if he had one) during the playing of the National Anthem?? Two Scoops Donnie is SO patriotic, he is destroying this country before our eyes. Meanwhile the gop is furiously at work putting through a healthcare bill to kill as many people as possible.

He is old enough to be your grand dad. Ignore the internet troll we made president, btw he can call all of you son of a bitch all he wants and to your face, he is the freaking leader of the free world and the military he controls is strong enough to destroy the world 100x over.

If you ever wondered who the cheering Germans were in 1930, just look at who comes to Trump's rallies. He bellows and lies and tells them what they want to hear, puts on a display like a strutting rutting animal, gives his hearers permission to own their darkest impulses, and lies some more. "That Wall is under construction right now, believe me!" Only it's not and the whole world knows it, except these morons. He incites to violence and they cheer.

He is dangerous, and so is his "base."

Chris Hayes said he expects at some point, when the logistics prove impossible, Trump will just tell his idiot supporters that the beautiful wall has been built and they will totally believe him and shut up about it.

At yesterday's Alabama unhinged rally, Trump declared that the "wall" can be a river, a mountain, a see-through concoction (invisible?), or already in place.
WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..the status he used to have hanging with movie stars, athletes and musicians. Being invited to all the Hollywood soirees, the awards banquets and the dinners!!! He USED to be a bigger than life persona...an enigma....a success everyone envied.

Now, however because of his narcissist greed, the entire world KNOWS hes a grifter and a fraud and the only people who want to hang out with him are the swamp water bottom dwellers he calls 'supporters''..in reality they are his only friends.....the toothless, unwashed under-informed.....and the wannabes who are standing in line ready to take his place as bully in chief once he tumbles off his pedestal. They aren't there to support him.... they are there to push him aside and become the countries top Deplorable. Hes always having to watch his back. He wanted to be king and THATS his world now. Sad for him, devastating for us.

I reaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy like that locution, "swamp water bottom dwellers...toothless, unwashed and under informed..."

It's really amusing that these idiot Nazis regard themselves as a "superior race," or it would be amusing were it not so tragic.

Trump's self-worth is measured by how much he puts down others. His faithful followers believe Trump is strong because Trump says so. The problem is, Trump has never been challenged--until now.

Reporters don't believe the bullshit, they've see it before. Celebrities, too. Athletes, too. They are surrounded by wannabes bragging about their accomplishments.

Trump's accomplishments? BUSINESS-multiple bankruptcies, no American bank will lend him money. ENTERTAINMENT-multiple failed shows, reality-TV host. SPORTS- USFL failed, some say, because of him. NFL passed him up for owner

That is what bothers Trump, he knows the truth about the gap between his PR image and the real man. And that's gotta hurt.

People should never mention him without calling him a racist. Trump is a blatant racist and white supremacist.
