Trump on Colin Kaepernick: He should find another country

On the eve of Donald Trump's Tuesday campaign rally at the Xfinity Arena in Everett, the Republican presidential candidate spoke with KIRO Radio's Dori Monson on a variety of topics, including why Boeing might leave Washington and 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's national anthem protest. 

Dori: Are you following 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for the anthem. He had bad things to say about both you and Hillary.

Trump: I have followed it and I think it's personally not a good thing, I think it's a terrible thing. And maybe he should find a country that works better for him, let him try. It won't happen.
