Donald Trump Talks Colin Kaepernick, Having a 'Hard Time' If Son Played Football

President Donald Trump discussed the prospects of his son, Barron, playing football as well as his thoughts on Colin Kaepernick during a CBS interview prior to the Super Bowl.

The Associated Press (h/t USA Today) shared some of his comments in which he said he "would have a hard time with it" if Barron wanted to play football, calling it a "dangerous sport." He granted he would allow Barron to play if his son wanted to but wouldn't "steer him that way."

Trump was also asked about Kaepernick protesting racial injustice and police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem as a member of the San Francisco 49ers.
