Then its sort of bad.
I love all the patriotic songs of my cherished country, my favorite part of firework shows are the singalongs. Many, many years of Girl Scout camp flag ceremonies! (I am a liberal).

I doubt it. Ever watched people at these things? Unless theyre the one with a mic, 90% just sort of mumble along.

We all need to support him for the benefit of our country.
What shall we do to help him, mail him the lyrics to God Bless America?

Trump doesn't know the words? Where's the outrage? Someone should start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Oh blacks kneeling during the anthem. Someone should tell them they should not be in the country.

What a fake patriot. Didn't even sing. Captain Bonespurs indeed.

At least he doesn't want to eradicate America's borders, effectively or otherwise. Which is worse, is obvious. Insults from a "fake patriot" in regard to patriotism, don't mean much.

wrong there my friend. the protests started during the obama administration, and the fans were in fact vocal about kapernick kneeling. and when other players started to join in, again before trump ever said anything about, and before trump was president, the fans again reacted by walking away from the NFL.

But thats not the topic here. why not stick to the actual topic instead of trying to hijack the thread hmmmm?

yes there are military people that support the protests, but like many of us, they also suggest a different time and place to protest.

Meh, I used to do the same thing in Church when I was a kid and saw my mom watching.

That said, if I were the POTUS and held Patriotism in such a high regard, I'd damn well know that song in and out.

I despise Trump and his politics - which are two different things, because Trump without his politics is still a lousy human being.

But honestly, stuff like this doesn't really help the progressive cause since it just feels petty. Admittedly, it is fair: Trump is a nasty, petty person. And you know full well if some Democrat flubbed the words to "God Bless America" or similar, Trump, being a man-child, would be Twittering all about it, pretending such things really matter and are a true measure of patriotism.

In short, let us not stoop to his level. Trump can be condemned by his words and actions, over and over again - his inability to sing need not factor into judging him lacking.
