Took a break from his presidential duties?President Donald Trump took a break Tuesday night from his presidential duties to court donors at a fundraising dinner in Manhattan, delivering a 40-minute speech covering a wide range of topics including his spat with the NFL.

“They have a rule, you can’t dance in the end zone, you can’t wear pink socks, one guy’s mother had breast cancer and they wouldn’t let him, you can’t do anything! But you’re allowed to sit down for the national anthem,” Trump said at the dinner, according to an attendee who spoke to Politico.
“All Goodell had to do was say there’s rules and you can’t do it, suspend [Kaepernick] for a couple games, you would never have had this,” Trump said, as quoted by Politico.
TPM
He obviously doesn't know Colin Kaepernick.
Dangerous how? Flag burning was a thing in the 60s. Dangerous to ruling elites, perhaps.“Now you have this whole thing going and it’s a very dangerous thing ‘cause we cannot let anyone disrespect our country like that.”
He managed to win the presidency without a huge campaign treasure. Why does he need to keep fundraising even from the beginning of his first term? To pay his legal bills for one thing.Trump made the remarks in front of about 150 people at the upscale restaurant Le Cirque to help fundraise for his re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee. Attendees paid between $35,000 and $100,000 to attend the swanky dinner.
The President also touched on health care and his communication with world leaders, CNN reported. Trump claimed that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau incorrectly told him that the U.S. has a $11 billion trade surplus with Canada and told a staffer to leave the room and check the numbers, according to CNN’s source in the room. Trump said the staffer returned to say that Trudeau was correct.
UPDATE 10/13: The NFL will not issue a mandate for players to stand.
