Thomas Gunderson shot in the leg during the Las Vegas massacre on Sunday found the strength to stand for President Trump when he visited recovering victims in the hospital earlier this week.

The president and first lady Melania Trump visited Gunderson, who was among the more than 500 people wounded at the Route 91 Harvest Festival last weekend, at the city’s University Medical Center on Wednesday, where they posed for photographs and chatted...

Liberals are bullies. Too bad they get protection by the colluding MSM.

And if they actually DID take a knee, I would hope Pres. Trump would have the presence of mind to say something about not needing to bow to him, he’s the president, not a king. Put ‘em right in their place and infuriate them all at the same time. Remember Alinsky’s rule about ridicule.

Having this guy attend an NFL game this weekend and stand for the anthem would be epic.

Yes. That would be perfect! I have always believed our side doesn’t seem confident tnough to effectively ridicule the dems. Of course trump is changing that. But he is only one person.

The anti-Obama wouldn’t include me. My focus on criticizing and disagreement was with Obama or the specific politician in question, never a person who showed the POTUS or politician I disagreed with respect.

And he probably would have gotten some "backlash" from pinheads

No.
There would have been snide comments from people saying they voted for Trump but most if not all such would be lies.

Every single Democrat kneeling as Trump ascends the dais should elicit from Trump some verbal appreciation that Democrats are showing proper attitude and should always kneel for their superiors.

I am virulently anti-Soetoro but I would stand for the President of the United States.

Of course! Is anyone surprised to learn that leftist, Democrat zealots would be critical of any show of respect for the POTUS?

Many on the left think that people like Gunderson deserve to be shot.
