Before we get to whatever it is that President Trump is on about, here, here is something that happens to be true: by many measures, Colin Kaepernick is a more prolific philanthropist than Donald Trump. Trump has always been happy to play a philanthropist in public, as part of his broader role as Public Rich Guy. At times this has meant bum-rushing the stage at charity events to which he was not invited, for charities to which he had never given any money. It has meant using other people's money to do things like settle his debts or buy a bizarre Pie-O-My-grade portrait of himself and donate it to one of his residences. It has meant a great deal of bombastic promises to donate to various vague but worthy causes.President Trump credits his Twitter wrath for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's unemployment — CNN (@CNN)March 21, 2017
