President Trump dredging up the NFL anthem controversy over the newest developments there was very clearly viewed as a means of moving on from, well, all the bad news for him this week.
The President is still dealing with Helsinki fallout and this new Michael Cohen bombshell and, after a dig at the “fake news” again, tweeted this tonight:
The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again – can’t believe it! Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!

Trump has, of course, exploited this issue over and over and over, including at that “celebration of America” event after the Eagles fracas last month.
And so a lot of people on Twitter called out the topic-shifting:

If my ex-attorney had me on tape talking about some Playmate I paid off after we slept together I would tweet the exact same thing https://t.co/FJFp3NEgY3

Not really. What America is debating right now is betrayal in Helsinki, covered-up hush payments, kids in cages, and a couple of other things https://t.co/TiVrsMc5lT

I guess the Michael Cohen tape must be bad since we’re back to ripping the NFL a new one.

Please talk about the NFL again, not about my horrible week with Putin, or my lawyer recording me talking about payments to a playboy model.
Sincerely,
