The presence of the Prez online is almost never without controversy, and his supporters are often outnumbered by the sheer size of the crowd that thinks he ought to keep his fingers off the keyboard. But on Sunday after many NFL players went down on one knee, or just stayed in the locker room, during the national anthem to protest racism in America, Trump hit new social sentiment lows. He said that protests during the Star-Spangled Banner were antithetical to patriotism and suggested that the league should ban such demonstrations. “Ratings for NFL football are way down,” Trump tweeted Tuesday. “Except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!” But if stoking national pride was the President’s goal, it seriously backfired. On Twitter, his NFL comments have drop-kicked him down to 90 percent negatives. –Hugo Guzman
