Trump Calls Black Men Who Kneel In Silent Protests SOBs
President Donald Trump probably didn’t realize he’d struck such a nerve with NFL players when he implored team owners to “get that son of a bitch off the field” for protesting during the national anthem.
The line drew loud applause at the president’s political rally in Huntsville, Alabama, but the words cut deep into America’s most popular sports league, where the majority of players are black and many of them grew up in tough neighborhoods, raised by strong women.
“I’m a son of a queen,” an emotional Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett said.

Twitter Has Become A WMD

'Dotard' rockets from obscurity to light up Trump-Kim exchange, spark partisan war of words
President Trump fired off “rocket man.”
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, the target of that verbal missile launch, shot back a flurry of taunts, calling America’s leader “a rogue,” “a frightened dog,” a “gangster fond of playing with fire.”...dotard

How many threats does it take for Trump to violate Twitter's terms of service? I guess nuclear threats don't count.
