It’s been a busy weekend for President Trump. When he wasn’t playing golf, he was rage tweeting about his tepid response to the recovery efforts in Puerto Rico.
In-between those two extremes, Trump thought it would be a grand idea to double back and comment on professional football players kneeling in protest during the national anthem. He grabbed his cell phone and sent out this message with his tiny baby hands:
19,000 RESPECTING our National Anthem! #StandForOurAnthem?? pic.twitter.com/czutyGaMQV

Yes, it’s a video from a hockey game. But there’s a problem with that video: It was shot at a hockey game on November 9, 2016. It’s nearly a year old, but Trump thought he could pass it off because he believes everything he sees on the internet.
Instead of doing his damn job and taking care of the people of Puerto Rico, instead of offering to do whatever he cold to help fellow Americans desperately in need of assistance, this douche nozzle decided he’d try and change the subject yet again. His presidency is in the toilet, so he’s thrashing around in an attempt to divert our attention.
Fortunately, there was plenty of ridicule for the Orange Menace on social media:
I've never seen a president care more about whether people sit or stand than about a natural disaster that threatens to kill thousands.

To fully respect the National Anthem & Flag; requires us all to respect the freedom and decisions of others to kneel in protest of violence.

Um.This is last years news. Making this your own brand of fake news. Where's your social media director now? Oh. Tweeting equally dumb shit.

As a veteran I don't feel disrespected by those who kneel to protest injustice. I do feel disrespected by Trump pissing on the Constitution.

Do you not understand that it isnt about standing for the anthem? Oh, never mind.

What makes Trump’s fake outrage over the players kneeling even more galling is this: The man pretending to be offended may well have committed treason with Russia. Who in the hell is he to lecture anyone on patriotism?
