One of the biggest mainstays of Donald Trump’s presidency has been respect of the National Anthem and the American flag.
The preaching was never more prevalent than when it spilled into football with Colin Kaepernick infamously protesting police brutality and racial injustice by kneeling during the anthem prior to 49ers games.
Trump, who took shots at Kaepernick along with all the players who knelt, even went as far to call them “Sons of bitches” and said they should be kicked out of the league, leading a charge against the NFL for allowing them to keep their jobs.
The protest during the National Anthem continues into Super Bowl LIV this past Sunday, with conservatives fuming at video of singers Jay-Z and Beyoncé sitting down for Demi Lovato’s rendition prior to the big game.
Jay-Z and Beyoncé weren’t the only ones disrespecting the National Anthem though, with video Donald Trump appearing to do the same.
Video from Trump’s annual Super Bowl party at Mar-A-Lago has emerged, showing the President joking, talking, and even conducting portions of the song during its playing.
A video of Donald Trump joking around while the national anthem played at #SuperBowlLIV has people very upset: https://t.co/SpyTTTfy9fpic.twitter.com/MKWiBhd75I

I’m going to bed tonight grateful that we now have video proof that Trump is more disrespectful to the national anthem than any football player.

Oh, we’re sorry, but @Kaepernick7 taking a knee was disrespectful? Then what is goofing off, talking, pointing and joking during the anthem?
This is who he is. Not the act he puts on, for TV.https://t.co/m2GO87xPT8

Trump, who savaged NFL players for kneeling during the National Anthem to protest police shootings of black Americans and led furious right wing condemnation of them, mocking the National Anthem. Don’t hold your breath for conservative outrage. https://t.co/cf5Fb8vFyB

Conservative Twitter: outraged all day because Beyoncé and Jay-Z chose to sit silently during the National Anthem.
ALSO Conservative Twitter: total crickets while trump’s buffoonery disrespects the same Anthem. https://t.co/QjMftNJQvp
