The game is over for Donald Trump
These days Donald Trump just loves taking positions that place him on the wrong side of an issue morally and the losing side of an issue politically. Now that the sports leagues are starting up again, Trump is doubling down on his complaints about players taking a knee, long after most Americans have come around to agreeing with the players who have been taking a knee.
Now Trump has announced that he’s simply going out pout whenever this issue doesn’t go his way:
Looking forward to live sports, but any time I witness a player kneeling during the National Anthem, a sign of great disrespect for our Country and our Flag, the game is over for me!

We can’t think of a better metaphor for Donald Trump’s dying presidency than “the game is over.” Thanks for that one, Donald. It’s almost like you’re doing our job for us.
