'Trump Knows…' Eclipses the Iconic Bo Jackson Commercial 'Bo Knows…'

Back around 1989, Nike ran an Ad that instantly went “viral” before viral was really a thing. It literally had much of the world talking in awe of the subject of the Ad, all-around world-class athlete Bo Jackson.

The original "Bo Knows" ad began with a shot of Jackson playing baseball and fellow All-Star ballplayer Kirk Gibson saying, "Bo knows baseball." The next scene shows Jackson on the football field, with quarterback Jim Everett confirming, "Bo knows football."  Next, the great Michael Jordan states, “Bo knows basketball.”  After several more major athletes of the time share the fact that “Bo knows…,” the ad concludes with Jackson struggling to play guitar, whereupon blues legend Bo Diddley exclaims, "Bo, you don't know Diddley!"

Today, some three and one-half decades later, we are witnessing the literal personification of that ad in the person of President Donald J. Trump. While Bo Jackson was an exceptional athlete who excelled at two major league sports, Trump excels at literally hundreds of subjects, with sports being but one of them.

Why?  Because “Trump knows…”  

Obviously, the Democrats, the corrupt mainstream media, academia, and Hollywood will continue to refuse to acknowledge the obvious talent, experience, major success, courage, genius, and overall “It Factor” of Trump for the obvious reason. His talent, experience, major success, courage, genius, and overall “It Factor” warped their already addled minds into reflectors of hate.

One of the truths that most triggers them is this: What Trump accomplished before the age of forty in the toughest business city in the world simply boggles the mind, even the warped ones. 

One of those accomplishments was, at just 37 years of age, buying the New Jersey Generals football team in the USFL and then turning it into the premier team in the league in just one year.  Why?  Because “Trump knows…football.”  Dramatically better, I dare say, than the current commissioner of the NFL, who has been open to every “woke” initiative thrown his way.

So, knowing “Trump knows…football,” it should not have surprised anyone that he recently weighed in on this year’s NFL draft.  On April 25th, the President posted on TRUTH SOCIAL:

“What is wrong with NFL owners, are they STUPID? Deion Sanders was a great college football player and was even greater in the NFL. He’s also a very good coach, streetwise and smart! Therefore, Shedeur, his quarterback son, has PHENOMENAL GENES, and is all set for Greatness. He should be “picked” IMMEDIATELY by a team that wants to WIN. Good luck, Shedeur, and say hello to your wonderful father!”

I certainly agree with the President regarding Deion Sanders, and we will see how Shedeur's career plays out over the coming years. That acknowledged, the greater point is that “Trump knows…football…and sports…better than anyone.”

I am completely serious when I say that President Trump, who has an energy level which makes the “Energizer Bunny” look like he suffers from narcolepsy, could simultaneously take over the responsibilities of the four major league sports commissioners and still have ample time to run – and save – our nation.

Why?  Because “Trump Knows…Everything.”

He really does.  Trump knows business.  He knows the markets.  He knows politics.  He knows international relations.  He knows national security.  He knows how to fight crime.  He knows cities and their urban centers.  He knows how to walk the world back from the precipice of World War III.  He knows energy.  He knows the corruption of the Left.  He knows crypto.  He knows entertainment.  He knows great television.  He knows the UFC, Boxing, and a multitude of other sports.  He knows transportation and the auto world.  He knows beauty, class, and elegance.  And he knows world history and where he wants our nation to stand as he institutes the policies to make “America First.”

“Trump knows…(insert your subject)…and because he does, is transforming the United States of America and much of the world.  How?  Because the President has brought more real-world experience into the Oval Office than any president in history.  That is simply a fact.

It is also true that “Trump knows…” the Left has engaged in a suicidal mission to end the world as we know it. Fortunately for the world, “Trump knows…” how to unwind the insanity while bringing some fun, joy, faith, and hope back into our lives.

You’re still not sure what the formula for that might look like? Don’t worry. “Trump knows.”
