For The Record (Trump) Again
Sep. 25th, 2017 10:16 amFor the record:
1) Donald Trump, private citizen, can express whatever opinion he wants. President of the United States Donald J. Trump cannot call for people to be fired for public speech. It's unconstitutional. He took an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and faithfully execute the laws. That includes the law allowing for NFL players to peaceably petition for redress of grievances.
2) It is amazing that a protest involving neo-Nazis and murder-by-car leads to Trump saying "good people on both sides" but a protest involving not standing yields "fire the SOBs."
3) It is sad that, as this kerfuffle continues, the Republican Party manfully struggles yet again to take away health insurance from millions of Americans.
4) It is also sad that, as this kerfuffle continues, 3.5 million US citizens are without power and many are still flooded out of their houses and businesses.
