President Trump slammed the National Football League on Friday for not implementing penalties for players who protest during the national anthem.

Trump said Friday the “hemorrhaging” NFL has allowed players to become “the boss.” His comments follow Thanksgiving games in which New York Giants defensive end Olivier Vernon knelt during the anthem.

A handful of players have continued to kneel during games as the NFL season enters its 12th week.

Trump, who had criticized players who kneel as a form of protest during the campaign, in September suggested NFL owners should fire players who kneel rather than stand during the national anthem. The comments, at a rally, started a feud between Trump and the players who began protesting in unity during the anthem at games.

Trump to play golf 'quickly' with Tiger Woods

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 11/24/17 07:29 AM EST

President Trump said that he will play golf "quickly" on Friday at the Trump National Golf Club with professional golfers Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson.

Trump tweeted Friday morning that after a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, he will head to his golf club, located less than five miles from Mar-a-Lago. Trump is spending Thanksgiving at his Florida resort.

The president tweeted that his call with Erdogan will be about bringing peace to “the mess” in the Middle East.

“Will be speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey this morning about bringing peace to the mess that I inherited in the Middle East,” he tweeted. “I will get it all done, but what a mistake, in lives and dollars (6 trillion), to be there in the first place!”

1. He really is an authoritarian isn't he

He really believes someone should be the boss and the underlings should have no rights.

[PJMcK]

2. He really is dumber than a box of rocks

He thinks that he and Ertogan will bring peace to the Middle East.

Idiot.

3. Fake outrage

He is just putting out his fake patriotic rage to pander to his base. I had become very indifferent to the NFL the last couple of years because of the greed and concussion issue. When I heard Trump the Jerk and his minions were outraged over the NFl protests, well I am back on the pro football bandwagon. We need a multitude of people to display their discontent with the take over by the 1% of our government.

4. So what?

That's not even on the top 100 list of bad things in America.

You know what's the #1 bad thing in America, that a child rapist, serial assaulter, criminal, fraud, total liar, racist and misogynist and TRAITOR has stolen the government for his own profit and with the help of a hostile foreign country.

5. The president will not rest until disobedient players are sent to Guantanamo

Worthless tinpot dictator

[underpants]

6. Tiger and Dustin? Wow nice choices

We all know Tiger's history with women. BTW - his physical downfall is textbook body breakdown from use of "steroids". And I was a fan back when he was rolling.

Dustin was doing so much blow the PGA suspended him for 6 months and told him to clean up his act. He also had affairs with two other players' wives ending those marriages.

7. So, you have the right to free speech

as long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it?

I thing that's how the song goes

Why don't I hear the songs that must be written somewhere about this administration and this time?

8. Someone should play the anthem on a bugle every time he settles his fat ass into the golf cart.

Why is there not a Golf Cart One that we do not have to pay rent for?

I'd like to see a photo shop of the Beast (presidental limo) towing a golf cart, or having a mobility scooter on the back bumper.

9. Hey, Trump FUCK YOU, you fucking narcissistic sociopath

[Bengus81]

10. Please Donnie....KEEP DOING THIS!!! OVER and OVER...........

Your dis-approval is about 60%,let's get that up around 70 shall we?!?!?

[forgotmylogin]

11. "President's previous sexual harassment continues...

...without penalty to him."

[onenote]

12. He really can't tolerate the fact that the players are getting all uppity.

How dare the guys who actually play the game do anything more than say Yes Massa, to the team owners.

Trump is the living personification of the plantation mentality.
