Are Trump's cultural victories over the Left helping his agenda?

How is President Trump benefiting from the debate over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem?

Most pundits are arguing about whether or not Trump's reactions to the protests are in line with the public. Simply put, the vast majority of Americans agree that kneeling during the national anthem, while allowed by the First Amendment, is not a respectful way to protest. According to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, 53 percent think kneeling during the anthem is inappropriate.

The majority may not agree with Trump's insult of the players and their mothers last Friday, and 57 percent do not think the players should be fired, as Trump has advocated. But 58 percent agree with Trump that the NFL should have a rule requiring standing. So, most seem to agree with his overall stance and may even sympathize with his frustration.

But, so what?

No one is answering how this will help Trump pass tax reform, infrastructure programs, and immigration reform. In fact, we already know it didn't help him pass the Obamacare repeal bill.
