President Donald Trump was chastised Monday after video footage showed him goofing off as the national anthem played during a Super Bowl party at his West Palm Beach golf resort.
As everyone else around Trump (including his wife and youngest son) stood solemnly with their hands over their hearts, Trump fidgeted, waved his hands, pointed at people and pretended to conduct the music.
The video of the president cutting up during the anthem, first reported by the Miami Herald, was part of an Instagram story posted by a real estate agent at the party, which was held for a select group of the presidents supporters. The event cost American taxpayers $3.4 million, according to an analysis by HuffPost.
Trump has said that athletes who take a knee at NFL games to protest racism and police brutality a movement launched by former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick should be fired because theyre disrespecting America and the military.
You have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldnt be playing you shouldnt be there, Trump told Fox & Friends in 2018, adding, Maybe you shouldnt be in the country.
When a football player takes a knee, the team owner should get that son of a bitch off the field, Trump told a rally in 2017.
Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren slammed celebrities Beyoncé and Jay-Z on Sunday for sitting during the anthem. She hasnt yet remarked on the presidents antics.

Coming from losers who ‘take a knee’? Right
If he had been burning a flag, walking on it, or saying “All this for a flag” I am sure he would have been their hero for the day.
Right?
Big deal.
Impeachment 2.0.
This just did it for another impeachment.
Nice try Huffington Post.
NO ONE is buying.
Who among us stands and puts our hand over our heart when we watch a game at home?
I confess I don’t. I mostly critique the singer.
Yeah I better elect Buttigieg. Not.
There’s always someone filming him. He should know that by now.
This is not from disrespect it is from a genuine love of country .
If it ticked off a liberal it’s okay by me.
Well gee, I guess this then gives the wealthy entertainers who were at the game the excuse for sitting down during the anthem. Anybody got change for a seven dollar bill?
Partisan Media Shills update.
Who cares if he disrespects the flag and the national anthem and thinks they’re singing to him personally?
Soon there will be a new flag anyway, right?
Something seems to be wrong with this picture. The First Lady and one of the boys have their lot hand over their heart. Maybe an atheist fired video???
What about Obama putting his hands on his family jewels during the Anthem? Didn’t that upset the Huffington Post?
No, I guess not.
S/B two hands on the crotch. Like Obama.
