New York Times: “The unusual melding of politics and sports underscored a truism of the Trump era: The president has yet to find an area of American, or even global, life where he is unwilling to assert himself. There are seemingly no previously apolitical events that can escape his pull.”“It is perhaps unsurprising that Mr. Trump, who loves both sports and the limelight, inserted himself in a situation where previous American presidents might have shown restraint. He has long attempted to capitalize politically on sports controversies.”
