You are the on having trouble grasping this point.  The national anthem protest is a very divisive political issue.  Republicans are overwhelmingly against it while democrats and independents are not.  So when a business owner takes a side he is making a pollical statement.

I've clearly said individuals are are free to express their views and have shown where the most influential business owner in the NFL has said politicians need to keep their noses out of it.

Quote to where I defended Trump against anything the evil people at Google has said. We both know I have not, but if you admitted that then you wouldn't be able to spew your "defending your boy Donald" baseless assertion. I've simply defended the employee that might feel slurred against.

As for just using words I don't think anything can be done about that.  Anytime the boss makes it clear who he/she endorses the language does not matter that much.  I don't think it is improper for companies to endorse a certain party or candidate as long as they don't threaten employees with retribution if they do not agree.

So what is your position?  Should employers be barred from expressing their political beliefs?  

You don't understand the degree. even though I provided examples; not sure what else I can do for you. BTW, there is a claim in the article that guy said he was fired because he disagreed with their views. But I understand why you didn't want to give a straight answer

Your assertion that business owners can slur employees as long as they don't threaten to retaliate against them is one I disagree with.

Yes, I do agree with Jones' position that Trump should shut up about it.

No; employers should not be barred from expressing their political beliefs.  Hell if you would have read my OP on the matter instead of squealing about Trump and kneeling, you would have seen I said they have the right. See how easy it is to give a straight answer.
