This man could give Machiavelli a run for his money. I mean Donald John Trump and his demagoguery in latching onto the National Anthem and NFL flag controversy.

It also seems like a clear violation of the First Amendment for a sitting President to try to crush dissent by trying to silence protesters by threatening boycotts and the like in the private sector. He is the government.
Most know nothing of the man:

"What was Machiavelli best known for?

Italian diplomat Niccolò Machiavelli is best known for writing The Prince, a handbook for unscrupulous politicians that inspired the term "Machiavellian" and established its author as the "father of modern political theory."Apr 2, 2014"

Trump has read it...he's read Art of War too.
