While people are literally dying from lack of resources in the areas stricken by hurricanes, President Trump is showing his critics that he’s a serious leader by stomping down anyone who disagrees with him on the NFL protests.

Oh good, finally one that’s actually true. The backlash against the NFL has been monumental, but so has the backlash against Trump. How can anyone believe that he did anything but increase the politicization of sports, and divide Americans even more? Most of these players didn’t protest before Trump, but he gave them another reason, a personal reason, to do so. What a mess.
