The Post has the rest of the story on why Trump tweeted congratulations to a white runner-up while ignoring a black number one.
President Trump offered support to Nick Bosa on Saturday morning, hours after the San Francisco 49ers’ top draft pick addressed scrutiny over past social media posts, including those supporting Trump and criticizing former quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 27, 2019
Bosa, selected second overall by the 49ers on Thursday night, was asked during his introductory news conference Friday about his previous use of social media, including an August 2016 tweet in which he wrote, “Kaepernick is a clown.”
“I definitely made some insensitive decisions throughout my life,” said Bosa, who deleted several of his posts leading up to the NFL draft. “I’m just excited to be here with a clean slate. I’m sorry if I hurt anybody. I definitely didn’t intend for that to be the case.”
So naturally the president of the United States had to jump in to congratulate the guy who called Kaepernick a clown, because white guys gotta stick together plus Kaepernick is not a Trump fan would you believe it!!!
Petty enough?

If Trump has not said “second place is for losers” or the equivalent I will be very surprised. Please, please let it be on record.
Of course I had to look it up.
It’s on record.
See, if Trump was as smart as he claims, he would have known to quote the bard (that is what people who think they’re smart do, after all…and often wrong). “To thine own self be true”. So much more…poetic…than always stay true to yourself.
