Trump: My Tenant Nike Is Sending A "Terrible Message"

From his interview with the Daily Caller:

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 company’s “Just Do It” campaign.

“I think it’s 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 “there’s no reason” for the famous sports apparel company to tap Kaepernick for the campaign. “But I think it’s a terrible message that they’re sending and the purpose of them doing it, maybe there’s a reason for them doing it,” Trump mused.

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

He grades people on how far below him they are, when in reality he's standing in a hole looking up.

'My tenant' - same shit with Aretha - she worked for him. Nike had already announced that it was moving it's NY HQ.
He's despicable.

Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, was just someone who worked for him. Nike is just another tenant. "MY African-American over there." He defines people by his power over them.

Even if you believe PINO's advertised net worth (and I don't)
Knight is 8x wealthier
He's nobody's "tenant".
