I would’ve expected Trump to be more sympathetic to Rapinoe, after all the protest is about money, not about cops shooting black guys or some other frivolous subject.

When Trump stops kissing Putin’s ass tell me about the National Anthem protest.
When Trump stops treating children at the border like animals then tell me what is appropriate.

President Donald Trump said that he finds U.S. soccer star and co-captain Megan Rapinoe’s silence during the national anthem to be inappropriate.
Everyone who has an issue with this should watch the NFL, NBA, and MLB to see if those guys are singing. They’ll be shook by what they find.

He told The Hill that he “loves” watching women’s soccer
This is a lie. Why repeat such an obvious falsehood?

Rapinoe is probably not his type anyway.

But I’d pay to see her kick him in the balls.

Two penalty kicks - just like the match against Spain yesterday.

Well, that’s interesting because I ‘deem’ Donald J. Trump lacking any shred of skill or temperament to hold the highest office in the land. #fakeleader

Excuse me, excuse me - that’s hamberders.

“I think a lot of it also has to do with the economics,” Trump said. “I mean who draws more, where is the money coming in. I know that when you have the great stars like [Cristiano] Ronaldo and some of these stars … that get paid a lot of money, but they draw hundreds of thousands of people.”

The reason that Ronaldo gets paid top dollar is because he is one of the top ranked soccer players in the world. He’s paid commensurate with his talent. The American women’s soccer team is NOT paid commensurate with their talent. The American men’s soccer team is a joke.

ETA: (I was typing as airportman was posting).

In related news, in 2016 Trump publicly asked for, and got, Russian election help. He’s publicly asking them again.

What a patriot, no?
