Before his political career, Donald Trump built his public persona through New York City tabloid feuds and high-profile business battles. The segment recounts his years-long rivalry with Mayor Ed Koch and his failed attempt to challenge the NFL by launching the USFL. The hosts note that Trump's strategy has always involved picking fights to stay in the headlines, regardless of the legal outcome.
President Donald Trump's criticism of NFL players kneeling was fueled by a long-standing personal animosity toward the league. Trump previously owned a team in the rival USFL and won a nominal $3 settlement in an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL in the 1980s. Jaguars owner Shad Khan and others suggest Trump's attacks were retaliatory after he was blocked from purchasing the Buffalo Bills in 2014.
