Instapundit: Trump did what he did intentionally...
If only Roger Goodell cared as much about domestic abuse and traumatic brain injury as he does about disrespecting America. #nfl— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 25, 2017
Trump vs. Goodell: this should be fun.— Fitzy (@FitzyGFY) September 23, 2017
Trump's kneeling comments last night in Alabama were not some gaffe, it was all carefully thought out. The NFL does despise their own fans. Plus Trump still probably harbors a grudge against the NFL.
Rush Limbaugh: The NFL don't know their audience, NFL players used to getting away with whatever they want, Why Rush does not engage emotional liberals like LeBron James, Once great NFL reduced to be tool of the left, How the protest movement destroyed Mizzou, America weighs in on NFL protests, Interesting take on Trump and NFL, NFL Owners side with Players over Customers, Great Sadness
I can't think of a MORE presidential role than to shame spoiled millionaires who work 16 days a year trashing America.— Google "CNN,175,Sue" (@NolteNC) September 23, 2017

Trump got into difficulty with the election in Alabama. He got on the wrong candidate follow advice from the swamp and he realized it the other day. So how do you deflect a potential bad news cycle, you create another one that is not so bad. Very smart. Now he needs to call for taxes on the windfall profits made by actors and athletes.
ReplyDelete"Windfall profits" is brilliant framing with the advantage of being true. Our economy is so brutally bifurcated that Trump really couldn't go wrong with "soak the performers."
Deletedavid, I do not think he is hurt at all whether Strange or Moore wins. He did the Strange endorsement as a favor to McConnell, but if Moore wins it is no loss to Trump. But in terms of deflecting, it might be more over Graham's Obamacare repeal-replace proposal failing.
