As the leader of the free world you need to act with a certain amount of diplomacy. Name calling leaders of other countries.....calling your citizen SOB's is not ok in my mind.
In terms of getting results...he has accomplished absolutely nothing. For example Ron Reagan needed to reach across the aisle to work with the democrats to get legislation passed. That takes diplomacy. He has control of the house and senate and cant get anything passed.
I think he is an absolute idiot. One of the items I agree with is we cant be the only country in the world doing all of the heavy lifting in terms of spending money on defense and that other countries like Japan and Germany need to start paying their fair share. Then he asks for $50 billion more for defense. Are you kiddding me? We need to cut military spending and/or make them do more for less. If it takes a million dollars to send a soldier over seas for a year and you pay them $25,000......where is the rest of the money going? Making some people very wealthy.
In the Vietnam days I didnt understand the need for people to burn the american flag but as I have aged I can now understand that they were angry enough with our leaders for sending young men to a useless war that they felt the need to make a statement that would make those "leaders" mad. They did this to make a statement in hopes that we would change and end the war. As the war dragged on others joined them in the protests until finally we exited a war unpopular with the people. In the United States we are granted this right and people before them have fought for this right. I personally take my hat off and stand at the national anthem. Those kneeling are voicing their displeasure similar to the flag burning in the hopes of change in our country.

Yet blacks have more encounters with police. In fact, blacks commit more murders and robberies than whites.
Im not really sure what your trying to say. Your statement is vague. Those are the numbers but you are omitting the percentages. There are like 200 million more white people than black people in the US.

Great solidarity for our National Anthem and for our Country. Standing with locked arms is good, kneeling is not acceptable. Bad ratings!

...NFL attendance and ratings are WAY DOWN. Boring games yes, but many stay away because they love our country. League should back U.S.

If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!

Trump didn't start this culture war, but unlike most wimps on "our side" he's willing to fight. Protest all you want on your time, but while on the clock, there is a tradition of decorum at public events like NFL games. Once again, another great American tradition and sign of unity has been laid to waste by modern leftists.
Trump is fighting back and these plummeting ratings and attendance are proving him right.

Umm, Im still not sure what point you are trying to prove. (one way or the other)
-
And youre use of the word facts is incorrect also. Those numbers are "reported" numbers by those involved. Unarmed is "reported" unarmed. You dont know of planted weapons or removed/lost weapons.
-
Also, provide those stats for the white population for comparison.
-
And how is that "all I need to know"? Statistics are only reliable as their source. They can be manipulated to prove a point, one way or the other.
cmon man. No one man is bigger than the game. Tiger Woods was WAY bigger than
Old Man Brady, in respective sports. People would WATCH golf cause of Woods. Folks arent watching the NFL cause of Brady. Golf is going strong with Mr Woods long gone. The game is bigger than ANYONE. It will move forward. This sport is like a religion in various areas of the country. Moment of time......don't get all crazy bro
So, you dispute the numbers now? The cops are all lying? If you believe more than 200 police departments planted weapons on people, there's nothing else really to say.
Provide stats for the white population? Why? The numbers are way higher because there's a much greater population of whites in America. What is the purpose?
These numbers are reported by the liberal press. When they have a point to prove regarding blacks being shot in America, why would they skew the stats to not fit their narrative?
