Washington (CNN)Before 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, President Trump had tapped out three tweets blasting the NFL.
"Ratings for NFL football are way down except before game starts, when people tune in to see whether or not our country will be disrespected!," he said in one. "The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest I have ever heard," he wrote in another. "Great anger."
