President Donald Trump turned heads on social media recently when he called for the Big Ten Conference to take part in the fall football season, calling it “disgraceful” how the teams aren’t suiting up. The conference previously postponed all fall sports and expressed a desire to hold games either in November or starting in the spring. “Disgraceful that Big Ten is not playing football. Let them PLAY!” Trump tweeted on Friday. He also reiterated this opinion on Saturday as Central Arkansas and Austin Peay took the field for an official game.
When the president expressed his opinion about the Big Ten, he received a massive amount of responses. Those that don’t like him said that he is to blame for the lack of sports and the number of dead Americans. Others, however, said that the Big Ten and the Democrats are “working together” to get Trump out of the Oval Office. They used a Joe Biden campaign ad blaming Trump for the lack of college football as an example. The reactions continued as supporters and critics alike argued about the lack of Big Ten football.

You’ve got more important things to worry about, Mr. President. Just tell the truth for a change and admit you couldn’t care less about college football or the futures of the countless young men in Big 10 football programs. Try saying that out loud, Mr. President. 💬

And where did most of those deaths come from? New York where they put sick people in nursing homes. New Jersey, Connecticut, and other surrounding areas got hit the hardest.

Yeah out of a population of 350,000,000!!! Its said we have lost people but these numbers are extremely low and there is a 98.4% survival rate for people without underlying conditions. Wearing masks does nothing at all it’s what you are touching is what will get you. Be smart!!

Anyone with half a brain has KNOWN THIS all along! The fact that Big Ten Schools haven’t had this guy removed is also a disgrace on the conference!

Yes he tweeted about an issue that many people care about. He is just another guy that cares what the silent majority care about. And that’s why he will win again in November.
