“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.” — NYT: Trump Tells Pence to Leave N.F.L. Game as Players Kneel During Anthem (Paywall)
October 9, 2017
Dear NFL,
Please excuse my VP
who I told to flee
should he see
any player “taking a knee”.
I ordered Mike Pence
to maintain our pretense
this is NOT about
lack of equality —
which actually
is fine by me.
I insist he persist
in the obvious lie
what these players object to
to mom's apply pie,
the Flag, Law and Order,
our wives and our daughters.
Our military!
They won't stand for our Anthem?
Believe me...I'll throw a tantrum.
Sincerely,
The President,
