Trump and Sports Protests

[Argo57]

With Trump's poll approval of his job numbers dropping from 42% in March to 35% in June to 32% this month according to an Associated Press poll (http://thehill.com/homenews/administ...its-32-percent), he is ginning up the national anthem sports protests issue as a diversion and an attempt to keep at least his core base on side.

Yesterday, VP Mike Pence walked out of the SF 49ers Indianapolis Colts game in an effort to further divide the two sides of the issue and keep his core supporters angry. Pence had advised reporters in advance to remain in their van as he did not expect to be staying long at the game. As safety Eric Reid of the 49 ers said, this was a PR stunt. Trump himself confirmed this when he said the walkout was planned.
