45's overnight tweet-storm skirted very near a violation of federal law (that's a five year sentence, BTW), since he still claims his every tweet via his twitter feed is an "official pronouncement" from him, as President. Sheesh.
Forgetting the legal issue (18 U.S. Code § 227) for a moment, what sort of moron thinks he can define away what it is Colin took a knee for, over a year ago? Colin said it was about black lives mattering, and police killing unarmed young brown and black men and women.
Donald: just shut it. You are NOT permitted to change what it is about. SHUT IT, 45.

The issue of kneeling has nothing to do with race. It is about respect for our Country, Flag and National Anthem. NFL must respect this!. . . .
You cannot by tweet tell another American what their own chosen protest is "about". What an idiot -- a prevaricating idiot, at that. Earlier (since removed), he had included the hashtag "BoycottNFL". I think his lawyers told him that looks a lot like a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 227. So the hashtag is now gone. But the stench of his lying nonsense. . . lingers, yet.
