President says ratings are down and unlikely to recoverPlayers from NBA have boycotted games over
police brutalityOn Monday,
Donald Trump defended Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager charged with killing two
protesters at anti-racism
protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last week. On Tuesday, however, he was quite happy to attack NBA players for boycotting games over police brutality.
“People are tired of watching the highly political @NBA,” wrote Trump on
Twitter. “Basketball ratings are WAY down, and they won’t be coming back. I hope
Football and
baseball are watching and learning because the same thing will be happening to them. Stand tall for our Country and our Flag!!!”
