Twitter Fingers-in-Chief is back again to give his unnecessary commentary on Colin Kaepernick becoming the face of Nike's latest campaign. As usual, the backlash Donald Trump received is both entertaining and well-deserved.
When Nike announced Kaepernick as the face of it's 30th anniversary "Just Do It' campaign, much of the Blue Lives Matter collective lost their Republican minds. Seeing as those folks are the grand majority of Trump's MAGA posse, it's not shocking that 45 would share their sentiments.
Trump first expressed his disdain for Nike's decision during a Fox & Friends interview on Thursday.
“I don’t think it’s appropriate what they did,” he said. “I honor the flag. I honor our national anthem, and most of the people in this country feel the same way.”

They're thinking why the hell is this 5 time draft dodger that doesn't even know the words to the National Anthem and doesn't cover his heart when it's played, and hates the NFL because they wouldn't let him buy a team doing dividing the nation with the BS.
