In his first tweet on Saturday morning, President Donald Trump ignored the first player picked in the NFL draft, Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, who is black, to praise the number two pick — a white player with a history of racist tweets.

In his tweet, Trump skipped over the Heisman Trophy winner to celebrate Ohio State’s Nick Bosa — who missed most of the 2018 season — for being picked second.

“Congratulations to Nick Bosa on being picked number two in the NFL Draft. You will be a great player for years to come, maybe one of the best. Big Talent! San Francisco will embrace you but most importantly, always stay true to yourself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he tweeted.

According to to the San Franciso Chronicle,”Bosa recently deleted tweets in which he called Colin Kaepernick a ‘clown,’ referred to Beyonce’s music as ‘complete trash’ and called ‘Black Panther’ the worst Marvel movie. On Thursday, the website Blacksportsonline posted threads showing Bosa following and liking accounts that feature white nationalist posts. The twitter feed @rzstprogramming showed Bosa retweeted a tweet referring to ‘crappernick.'”

3. One Season wonder Bosa.

Surprised the 49 ers even went there with this Guy.

4. If you don't think so, you better think again.

I have white skin.

I've been in the rooms.

It doesn't matter if it's "not all white people."

It just doesn't.

If you don't think so, you better think again.

7. ... and.... he gets another headline that's all it's about.

12. Exactly!!!

When will folks wake up to this POS trash BS.

[Submariner]

8. Maybe Bosa is the new "Boz"

Brian Bosworth crashed and burned to a crisp.

9. Surprise, surprise (sarcasm) from the white nationalist illegal occupant of the white house.

[not fooled]

10. I hope San Francisco fans

give this dickhead an appropriate welcome.

Perhaps it's karma that he is going there.

Wonder if among all of his other intolerant, racist tweets there are some directed at San Francisco. That would make things even more interesting.

11. Racist not forgetful . Hope others see it for what it was

[pecosbob]

13. Squirrel!

[NYC Liberal]

14. Makes sense: Trump was also the number two pick and he still thinks that's better than number one.

[pecosbob]

16. Trump once again delves into his binder of distractions...

[erpowers]

17. I Completely Disagree With Nick Bosa

No one has to agree with Colin Kaepernick, but he is not a clown. Beyoncé's music is not "complete trash". Actually, she has really good music. Finally, Black Panther was not the worst of the Marvel movies. It was a really good movie.

[camelfan]

18. Ugh! Bosa is a creep

and only a creep like the president* would praise him and ignore Kyler Murray. And Bosa was drafted by the 49ers, meaning he'll be playing his home games in my neighborhood. Insufferable.

[JonLP24]

19. Following white nationalists?

I'm glad Arizona didn't draft him -- I preferred Quinnen William & Josh Rosen over Kyler Murray.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

20. I'm not racist, but I think that Beyonce's music is trash.

It's because I like good music.

[Initech]

21. I'm not a huge Beyonce fan.

But there's no denying that she commands the stage. Thst Coachella performance last year, calling it "epic" is an understatement.

Also I like her because she pisses off the racist Trump loving conspiracy theorists.

I also will add that I like Lady Gaga for the exact same reasons.
