Trump vs NFL: The story told in four headlines.
Here are four headlines from the Washington post which summarize the recent NFL protests, and President Trump's response to the protests:
Remember when President Trump said he would teach Republicans how to win? This is what it looks like.
For example, at the recent Colts-49ers game after the players knelt during the national anthem, VP Mike Pence left the game, and he didn't back down. Pence later tweeted, "I left today's Colts game because @POTUS and I will not dignify any event that disrespects our soldiers, our Flag, or our National Anthem."
Never apologize for loving America.
