He's manufacturing a controversy to keep us distracted from the things that he's doing that are more obnoxious/important.
For example, we are having a multi-page thread here about football players instead of about the issue that his staff has been abusing email just like Clinton did... which is just beyond belief after the amount of time the devoted to talking about Clinton's email. No one working for him has even an iota of an excuse.
Or that we're not talking about the ongoing Russian election controversy.
Incredibly well played by Trump. Of course he's manufacturing this instead of doing productive work but oh well.

+1zillion!!! This is just a gambit by Trump to divert attention from the real issues, energize his base, and build support for his 2020 election bid. Why people in this country can't see through this self-serving bit of political theater is beyond me.
