Gregg Popovich unleashes fiery statement on Trump: 'What we have is a fool in place of a president'

Liz Roscher 5 hrs ago


© Provided by Yahoo! Sports Spurs head coach Greg Popovich didn't hold back when talking about Donald Trump's response to the protests that have sprung up in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody. .

Popovich spoke to The Nation’s Dave Zirin on Sunday, and he touched on several topics that are currently in the news. He began by talking about racism and police violence in response to the death of George Floyd in police custody, and how things continue to stay the same.

“The thing that strikes me is that we all see this police violence and racism and we’ve seen it all before but nothing changes. That’s why these protests have been so explosive. But without leadership and an understanding of what the problem is, there will never be change. And white Americans have avoided reckoning with this problem forever because it’s been our privilege to be able to avoid it. That also has to change.”


Then he moved on to leadership, lamenting the current resident of the White House, President Donald Trump.
“It’s unbelievable. If Trump had a brain, even if it was 99 percent cynical, he would come out and say something to unify people. But he doesn’t care about bringing people together. Even now. That’s how deranged he is. It’s all about him. It’s all about what benefits him personally. It’s never about the greater good. And that’s all he’s ever been.”


Popovich has spoken about Trump before, but given everything that’s happened over the past week, this time he really went in.

“It’s so clear what needs to be done. We need a president to come out and say simply that ‘Black Lives Matter.’ Just say those three words. But he won’t and he can’t. He can’t because it’s more important to him to mollify the small group of followers who validate his insanity. But it’s more than just Trump. The system has to change. I’ll do whatever I can do to help because that’s what leaders do. But he can’t do anything to put us on a positive path because he’s not a leader.

“It’s like what Lindsay Graham and Ted Cruz used to say when they had the courage to say it: He’s unfit. But they have chosen instead to be invisible and obsequious in the face of this carnage. In the end what we have is a fool in place of a president, while the person who really runs the country, Senator Mitch McConnell, destroys the United States for generations to come. McConnell has destroyed and degraded our judicial system. He has tried to destroy heath care. He’s destroyed the environment. He’s the master and Trump’s the stooge, and what’s funny is that Trump doesn’t even know it. Trump’s always wanted to be part of the in-group, but McConnell is an in-group of one and Trump plays the fool.

“He’s not just divisive. He’s a destroyer. To be in his presence makes you die. He will eat you alive for his own purposes. I’m appalled that we have a leader who can’t say ‘Black Lives Matter.’ That’s why he hides in the White House basement. He is a coward. He creates a situation and runs away like a grade-schooler. Actually, I think it’s best to ignore him. There is nothing he can do to make this better because of who he is: a deranged idiot.”

As far as the protests that have sprung up across the country (and the world) since the death of George Floyd in police custody, Popovich let up on the gas pedal a little. He gave the protesters advice that he hopes will help them.

“[The protests] are very necessary, but they need to be organized better. It’s frustrating. When Dr. King did a protest, you knew when to show, when to come back the next day. But if you’re just organizing protests and everyone is coming and going in every direction, it doesn’t work that way. If it was nonviolent, they knew to be nonviolent, but this is muddled. More leadership would be very welcome so these incredible mass demonstrations can’t be used by people for other means. We can limit the bad, but only if things are organized better.”
Popovich has never shied away from making political statements and standing up for what he believes in. It’s comforting that even though the NBA is currently suspended due to COVID-19, Popovich hasn’t changed one bit."

"By having no constructive response to any of the monumental crises now convulsing America, Trump has abdicated his office.

"He is not governing. He’s golfing, watching cable TV and tweeting.

"How has Trump responded to the widespread unrest following the murder in Minneapolis of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for minutes as he was handcuffed on the ground?

"Trump called the protesters “thugs” and threatened to have them shot. “When the looting starts, the shooting starts,” he tweeted, parroting a former Miami police chief whose words spurred race riots in the late 1960s.

"On Saturday, he gloated about “the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons” awaiting protesters outside the White House, should they ever break through Secret Service lines.

"Trump’s response to the last three ghastly months of mounting disease and death has been just as heedless. Since claiming Covid-19 was a “Democratic hoax” and muzzling public health officials, he has punted management of the coronavirus to the states."

Taking moral lessons from an Emperor Xi dick sucker, get gassed faggot.

[jimmymccready]

Trump obviously is trying to see how far he can thrust his power.

He is now actively plotting to not have elections.

[Frank Apisa]

Even die-hard conservatives like George Will see Trump and his enablers as a menace to our Republic.

I just quoted Will in a thread I started. Hope you all stop by and read it. Very interesting that someone like Will would say what he does.

That's so true.

A well organized protest would gather at a defined place and time, engage in whatever speeches or marches desired, and then conclude at a planned time.

To just say let's all gather here and march in the streets, leaves it wide open.

The gathering has to be planned and carried out and the dispersing has to be planned and carried out.

That way there can be no confusion as to which group is doing what.

I love Pop. One of the greatest coaches in NBA history, and he speaks his mind at the appropriate times. Great dry sense of humor as well. He said it perfectly. America is on to the Donald. Best for you nutters to leave the ship before sinks with you still on board.

Hello Concart,

I love Pop. One of the greatest coaches in NBA history, and he speaks his mind at the appropriate times. Great dry sense of humor as well. He said it perfectly. America is on to the Donald. Best for you nutters to leave the ship before sinks with you still on board.

I wish America was 'onto Donald.'

The problem is the news headlines are like a discussion forum and Donald keeps bumping trash headlines on top, and his minions are quick to dismiss 'old news.'

The heart and soul of America is being co-opted by the rich and powerful to satisfy their greed.

Capitalism brought us disposable everything; and apparently, commitment to the principles outlined in the Preamble to the Constitution has been scrolled out of the attention of the everyday Americans who need to protect the Constitution.

We are rapidly devolving into a nation of by and for the rich and powerful, and screw everybody else.

Are we gonna just sit around and let that happen?

Who gives a shit what left wing loons think? You don't like Trump; win the fucking election.

Dementia Joe will never be Potus. That's why the PHONY media makes excuses for Antifa and blacks looting, rioting and burning down BLUE STATE cities.
