You could start and end this enquiry by asking yourself who still thinks Trump is doing a good job and still supports him. That would be between 30 and 40 percent of us, and if that doesn’t just blow your damn mind, then I don’t know what will.

I’m with you. This is the least invasive possible way to protest.

I’m a disabled veteran from the first Gulf War, and have no problem whatsoever with anthem protests. I could do with a LOT less flag-waving in general, truth be told.

That’s pretty much Trump’s social life for the last 60 years.
