Trump throw the red meat to his base, vile them up, elicit response from everyone else is exactly where he wants things to be.  The divider-in-chief has done it again - pitch people against people, make people take side so to strengthen his base and distract his lack of major achievement so far in his presidency.  Personally I can't see how 'kneeling' is offensive, which I feel is a gesture of compassion with a degree of sadness.   Just watch Jackie O kneeled before the coffin of JFK during the funeral, nobody said she was being offensive.  Colin K started this gesture to protest against the police brutality against black, a sad state of affairs.  Agree with him protesting during the anthem or not, by doing so he is making a bigger impact to raise the issue.  Now Trump is making his cause (and kneeling as a form of protest) a lot bigger, perhaps an unintended consequence unforeseen by this destructor.
