Spoke to Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. Jerry is a winner who knows how to get things done. Players will stand for Country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 27, 2017

Original story from Tuesday

President Donald Trump, in what seems to have become part of his daily routine, was up early this morning, tweeting.

These were no ordinary tweets, though, if in fact any tweet from the leader of the free world can be considered ordinary. These tweets were about the Dallas Cowboys, specifically their unified actions before their Monday night victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Glendale, Ariz.

In his series of three tweets, it was hard to tell whether Trump was ripping the Cowboys, or lauding them. His first tweet of the day, at 5:35 a.m. Dallas time, was a clear swipe at the NFL in general.

The booing at the NFL football game last night, when the entire Dallas team dropped to its knees, was loudest I have ever heard. Great anger — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

Then, Trump honed in on the Cowboys' decision, as an organization, to lock arms at midfield and drop to one knee prior to the unfurling of the giant American flag and playing of the national anthem.

In his third consecutive NFL-related tweet to begin his day, Trump noted that the Cowboys, arms still locked, stood for the anthem. Trump's takeaway seemed to be that the Cowboys' actions ultimately added up to a victory for America, never mind what they did on the field against the Cardinals.

But while Dallas dropped to its knees as a team, they all stood up for our National Anthem. Big progress being made-we all love our country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 26, 2017

Praise, sort of, from the President of the United States probably wasn't what the Cowboys had in mind last night -- and not what they expected to wake up to Tuesday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who on Monday night joined his players and coaches in locking arms, kneeling and, finally, standing, explained the organization's thought process after the game.

"We planned and it was executed according to plan that we would go out and kneel in prayer, or kneel and basically stand and make the statement regarding the need for unity and the need for equality," Jones, 74, said. "Then we immediately turned around, stood up, walked over to the sideline.

"And that big American flag, it came down that field, and we all stood toes-out on the field and recognized and respected the American flag and the national anthem. So it was a coordinated effort. It was planned and it was executed at the same time that our team was getting ready to play this Cardinal team. I'm very proud of it."

Said Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant: "It was a team thing. I feel like that's the true definition of unity. Trump can't divide this.

"I think sports show the perfect example of unity. It's not just black NFL players, it's different races. I feel like that was a clear shot at Trump, sitting on that knee like that because you just can't do that. [What Trump said was] super disrespectful. We showed great unity tonight. That's what that was for. I feel like that was needed. ... We're not going to let a guy like that tear us apart. Not just us but this whole entire league. We're a prime example of positive people. ... He should have never said that. It was a clear punch in the face. I feel like we made up for that."
