My understanding is that he stood there like a dummy for half the song because he doesnât know the words.
Quelle surprise.
Jeezus H. Christ. He canât even pay attention for the length of a football game? I suppose all those âdocumentsâ were crying out to be read.
I, for one, get a bit teary eyed inagining his painful journey back from his bone spurs that was necessary for him to make that walk to mid-field. Sure, it looks easy enough to us, but what we don´t see are endless therapeutic walks to and from the golf cart that he´s had to endure over the decades just to get to this point.
Grit!
Iâm sure that Trump will reiterate what he said about the Iranian protesters to those who booâd him: âTheir voices deserve to be heard. We encourage all parties to protect this fundamental right to peaceful expression.â
âMonths after wading into the culture war over protests during the anthem, the president was greeted by tens of thousands in Atlanta with cheers and a smattering of boos.â
If you can clearly hear booing from a crowd of over 60,000 people, itâs not a âsmattering.â
Based on the one clip I saw (admittedly it was a brief clip) I donât even think he knew where he was. He looked confused
It made it to the German news too.
âDoes Trump not know the US national anthem?â
âWe are going to show respect for the National Anthem againâŚby not remembering the words.â
I bet the fucking moron thinks that his being at the game raised the TV ratings by a few points, which besides the cheers is the thing heâd think about.
SHS spent the night planning what to say to defend that debacle:
âThe President was pleased by the positive welcome he received at the football game last night
âThe President was saddened by the fact that the crowd booed the members of the armed forces
âThe ovation was huge. The largest and longest ovation ever received by a President at any event ever.
âItâs ridiculous to suggest that the President doesnât know the words to the national anthem. Anyone with any intelligence at all could see that he knew all of the words and could hit all of the notes.
âThe President supported both teams, but really, the reason Alabama won was the Presidentâs support.
Who knew lyrics are so hard?
The game started past his bed time.
He didnât give a shit about the game, it was just a political stunt about the anthem.
@dickweed Gee. Whoâd do something so transparently low as that? Oh, waitâŚAt least he lasted longer than Pense, when he pulled his anthem bit.
He didnât have anyone to order him to leave. Video of it if interested. I like the way he keeps patting his chest, like heâs about to put his hand down then remembers heâs supposed to keep it up there till the song is over.
I had people tell me with a straight face that Alabama would lose because they elected a Democratic Senator. Guess their God is non partisan.
I think he wanted a really large adoring crowd and couldnât get one on his own.
Yes. Thatâs exactly what happened.
He showboats like a fascist â complete with ROTC, flags and pageantry â and then fakes his way badly through the song, for everyone to see.
Iâm embarrassed to a be a member of the same species as the Dotard.
Too bad it was only college football, or he have also been met with a âsplattering of boozeâ!
Better people than Donald Trump have blown the lyrics to the Star-Spangled Banner.
