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.

Unfortunate.
We had a state rep sing the national anthem before a large political breakfast event I was at a week or so ago. She was better than most singers who perform before major league sporting events. I was pleasantly surprised.
Uh, just watched the video...so...
Was this during the anthem or during America the beautiful?
I don’t care. He wasn’t at the game. It’s this big myth that a person is required to drop whatever he’s doing and stand in some inanimate silent salute of the National Anthem no matter when its heard. If that was the case, the Russians and Chinese could easily defeat us in battle by simply blaring our Anthem nonstop!
Don’t just impeach him, arrest him and impose capital punishment!!
Let the silly flailing Rat attacks begin, who gives a sh*t!
That's what I was thinking.
Nope, not at the house.
Oh noze! He actively enjoyed the Anthem - reminiscent of David being chastised by his jealous wife for”Dancing for all he was worth” in praise of the Lord...
Chastised by who? The Huffington Post? Big Deal.
These “people” seem go be devoid of any shame, honor and or short term memory?
Looked to me like Trump acted up when the vocalist got really screechy, adding notes and syllables that were never there when the song was written. That was far from the worst National Anthem rendition I’ve ever heard, but it really did make my teeth hurt.
I hope he mentions Rush tonight.
This is SO LAME. What another pathetic smear
attempt by the Fake News and their cowardly spies.
RE: Billy Jeff Rapist: He was probably doing three 17 year olds during the anthem at his Superbowl parties; I’m sure his enablers just looked the other way.
someone ought to send these knuckleheads the video of bozo and big mike from 2011.....”all of this for a damn flag..”
The sad thing is that this was taken at a group of people who were supposedly his “supporters.”
I remember standing when the station would sign off at 2:00am.

I never have. I only do so when I am at the event in question.
The weird thing is despite things like this President Trump accomplishes far more patriotic acts in the long run than anyone else. There will simply never be another Donald J. Trump!
Wasn’t it Michael 0bama that said, “All this for a stupid flag?” or something very similar.
