I do have a question, though .... is the guy very good at American football?


Because being POTUS isn't demanding enough and allows a lot of leisure time to get involved in stuff like this.


But the serious answer is that it's a cheap and easy way to shore up popularity by appealing to the raw emotion of his base plus the patriots in the country who take kneeling during the anthem as a personal affront, no matter what the issue.
