Frustration
There is a high level of frustration. The President has taken a strong stance against a lack of patriotism.
Many celebrities and sport stars have refused to acknowledge this. They believe that there is no sense in doing so if they are not seen as equal.
The recent rallies and violence, especially at Charlottesville has escalated racial issues. There has been immigration problems and many African Americans losing their lives.
The very persons who are called to serve and protect have occasionally taken life.
This is what has many at odds with the President. They believe he is doing nothing to help the situation. Some actually think he has made it worst.
Bruce Maxwell of Oakland A’s recently followed Kaepernick. He became the first person in the MLB to take this position.
The kneeing is in response to the brutality African Americans face by law enforcement.
The President knows this, but instead of facing the problem head on chose another course.
He said if persons left the stadium when anyone kneels during the anthem, it would stop.
Trump even encouraged NFL owners to fire those who knelt down.
Stevie Wonder joins a list of persons who are displeased with Trump. At present none of this has affected Trump in any way.
It is unlikely that any of it ever will.
