One thing that struck me: when he talks about kneeling football players, he uses language that separates them from the concept of 'Americans.' Maybe not implied foreign, like with Puerto Rico, but...not stakeholders. Others. Its "so disrespectful to OUR country when THEY take a knee." Those pronouns keep recurring, and I can't tell if it's a dog whistle or just lazy low-vocab stupidity.

Yup. Trump supports gender-neutral identification of NFL players.

The repetition of that phrasing is what makes it stand out.
I think it's at *least* as likely that it's just an artifact of being less articulate than an 8th grader who just got high in the bathroom, but I can't pretend to think that's any less concerning a reality.

Does the first murdered Ambassador in over 30 years really count as a “soldier”?

The image in that meme is from the transfer of remains ceremony for Ambassador Stevens who was killed when the US mission in Benghazi, Libya was overrun by Ansar al-Sharia. Not for four soldiers.

I almost fucking passed out when I read that he said: "I’ve written them personal letters. They’ve been sent, or they’re going out tonight." Here's a conversation I had approximately 100 times during my years of teaching:
Simple Torture: "Did you write that paper like you were supposed to? The one that was due yesterday?"
Student: "I did! I will e-mail it to you right away."
----8 hours pass----
Student: "I'm sorry, did you say you wanted that paper e-mailed?"
Simple Torture: "Yes."
----In class the next day----
Student: "Just like you asked, I'm emailing you that paper tonight."

Yep. Classic Trump.
I'm little surprised he hasn't fallen into referring to himself in the 3rd person.
