That is gonna make that $2 ready meal taste reeeeal sweet

You still haven't told us Trump's net worth and whether he can speak for Working Class America though...


Oh is it only the black athletes that need to know their place and stick to it?

Anyway. I will just leave this power Illustration by Drew Sheneman here as it perfectly sums up any anger towards the NFL protestors..

that cartoon just about sums up the immaturity of this protest, the basic level of understanding of the social media hysteria crew who no more understand what is going on in the USa/crime and order than they do quantum physics

essentially the cartoon rather ironically shows what this is..

He's now getting Presenters suspended.

US President Donald Trump has pilloried a cable sports anchor who is suspended after politically charged tweets.
He tweeted: "With Jemele Hill at the mike, it is no wonder ESPN ratings have 'tanked,' in fact, tanked so badly it is the talk of the industry!"
Ms Hill was reprimanded last month for calling Mr Trump a white supremacist and is now off air for two weeks after appearing to urge an NFL boycott.
ESPN said she made a "second violation of our social media guidelines".
Mr Trump also called on Tuesday for the NFL to be stripped of tax advantages if it cannot stop players demonstrating during the national anthem.
He tweeted: "Why is the NFL getting massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country? Change tax law!"
Trump defends Pence NFL protest walkout
The demonstrations, which protesters have said highlight police brutality and racial injustice, have spread in recent weeks after Mr Trump called for the NFL stars to be fired.


Media captionWatch: The history of anthem protests in the US.
ESPN did not specify how Jemele Hill, who is African-American, fell foul of its policies this time.
But on Sunday she argued that fans should shun an NFL team's advertisers after its owner vowed to punish any of his players who kneel or sit during the Star-Spangled Banner.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on Sunday warned his players they would be benched if they did not stand for the flag.
Ms Hill, co-host of the SportsCenter programme, tweeted: "Jerry Jones also has created a problem for his players, specifically the black ones. If they don't kneel, some will see them as sellouts."
She added: "If you feel strongly about JJ's statement, boycott his advertisers."

Ms Hill later posted: "Just so we're clear: I'm not advocating a NFL boycott. But an unfair burden has been put on players in Dallas & Miami w/ anthem directives."
ESPN said in a statement about Ms Hill on Monday: "She previously acknowledged letting her colleagues and company down with an impulsive tweet.
"In the aftermath, all employees were reminded of how individual tweets may reflect negatively on ESPN and that such actions would have consequences. Hence this decision."
