The ad featured the tagline, "It's only crazy until you do it. Just do it."
In an interview withย Vince Coglianese and Saagar Enjetiย of theย Daily Callerย on Tuesday, Trump said, "I think it's a terrible message," regarding Nike's partnership with Kaepernick.
Trump then tweeted Wednesday about those who were protesting Nike's decision to use Kaepernick as a spokesperson:
The president has long been outspoken against Kaepernick. The former NFL signal-caller became the first player to protest against social injustice and racial inequality by sitting and then kneeling during the playing of the national anthem before games in the 2016 preseason.
Since parting ways with the Niners at the conclusion of the 2016 NFL campaign, Kaepernick has gone unsigned.
