He's not made a decent point, the only people who think he has are him and some sad wee cheerleaders dotted accross the globe that jump to his rescue out of some strange sense of duty, hoping one day he will acknowledge and thank them personally

OK - what's wrong with the point he has made then ?
Quote what he said and describe exactly what is wrong.

It's incredibly patriotic. I have lived there. Have you ?

He ain't stupid.
Oh absolutely. The people at the rally were lapping it up

Donald Trump, at a rally in Alabama:
"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now... he is fired'?"
18 U.S. Code 227 (Wrongfully influencing a private entity's employment decisions by a Member of Congress or an officer or employee of the legislative or executive branch) reads:
(a) Whoever, being a covered government person, with the intent to influence, solely on the basis of partisan political affiliation, an employment decision or employment practice of any private entity—
(1) takes or withholds, or offers or threatens to take or withhold, an official act, or
(2) influences, or offers or threatens to influence, the official act of another,
shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than 15 years, or both, and may be disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
(b) In this section, the term “covered government person†means—
(1) a Senator or Representative in, or a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to, the Congress;
(2) an employee of either House of Congress; or
(3) the President, Vice President, an employee of the United States Postal Service or the Postal Regulatory Commission, or any other executive branch employee (as such term is defined under section 2105 of title 5, United States Code).
(Added Pub. L. 110–81, title I, §â€¯102(a), Sept. 14, 2007, 121 Stat. 739; amended Pub. L. 112–105, §â€¯18(a), Apr. 4, 2012, 126 Stat. 304.)
The point he made is against the law, and adds to his ever expanding rap sheet.
Donald Trump
