President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Nike sent a terrible message this week by making former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick one of the faces representing the 30th anniversary of the companys Just Do It campaign.
I think its a terrible message. Nike is a tenant of mine. They pay a lot of rent, Trump said, referring to Niketown New York, which is for now located at 6 East 57th Street in New York City.
Trump added Tuesday that theres no reason for the famous sports apparel company to tap Kaepernick for the campaign. But I think its a terrible message that theyre sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe theres a reason for them doing it, Trump mused.

Heh, a message of not tolerating intolerance. Nike might want to find new premises

So pathetic. Someone should tell Trump that nobody cares if he is their landlord or how much rent they pay.
