The NFL has all sorts of rules and regulations. The only way out for them is to set a rule that you can't kneel during our National Anthem!

Sports fans should never condone players that do not stand proud for their National Anthem or their Country. NFL should change policy!

President Trump tweets that Michael Flynn, Trump administration's National Security Advisor, should ask for immunity due to his involvement with the Russians.
Mike Flynn should ask for immunity in that this is a witch hunt (excuse for big election loss), by media & Dems, of historic proportion!

On Fundraising
We pay for Obama's travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.

Trump signaled his intent to run for a second term by filing with the FEC within hours of assuming the presidency. This transformed his 2016 election committee into one incorporating re-election for 2020. The early beginning of the campaign was highly unorthodox. Trump marked the official start of the campaign with a rally in Melbourne, Florida, on February 18, 2017, less than a month after taking office. By February 1, 2017, the campaign had already raised over $7 million. [Source]

President-Elect Trump tweeted this after winning the election, but losing the popular vote.
The Electoral College is actually genius in that it brings all states, including the smaller ones, into play. Campaigning is much different!
