Donald Trump didn’t let Colin Kaepernick’s national-anthem protest – or criticism of both presidential candidates – pass without a retaliatory comment Monday.

The quarterback subsequently made it clear that he is neither a fan of Trump nor Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. “You have Hillary [Clinton], who has called black teens or black kids super predators”.
“In general, what I can say is that I certainly don’t share the views that Mr. Kaepernick expressed after the game in explaining his reasoning for his actions”, Earnest told reporters, via Yahoo News. I mean, we have a presidential candidate who’s deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. And it was only a matter of time until Trump said exactly what you would expect him to say about Kaepernick. If that was any other person, you’d be in prison.

“I think it’s a awful thing, and you know, maybe he should find a country that works better for him, let him try, it’s not gonna happen”, Trump told theThe Dori Monson Show on Monday, according to Buzzfeed. And maybe he should find a country that works better for him. “So, what is this country really standing for?” How can someone say without irony that Kaepernick should leave the country because he thinks the country has problems that need to be fixed, while supporting the idea that the country has problems that need to be fixed?
