President Trump isnt done criticizing NFL players for kneeling during the national anthem. Now hes taking his criticism to the Presidential Weekly Address.
The President talks about the history behind the American flag and says, Every day millions of American citizens raise it, salute it, and honor it on the home front.
And then he gets around to the protesting players:
Before watching a football game, you want to see those players be proud of their country. Respect our country. Respect our flag. And respect our national anthem and we think they will. We certainly hope they will.
Watch above, via The White House.

(129,611 posts)although with Roosevelt, it was the "fireside chat" and they were not weekly, but were frequent, and were meant to address the public in a more informal sense about the state of affairs. Raygun formalized the current Saturday morning radio broadcast practice, Shrub included making his available on the internet, and Obama added the video version.

(19,240 posts)who are about to be robbed of their Social Security, Medicare, homes, jobs---and they will cheer him along, because they believe that he respects them for having a deficiency of melanin. Have they even looked at the man? No one paints his face with Cheetos, because he takes pride in being white. This is Harold Hill and he has come to town to rob us blind. But go ahead, Trump base, cheer for the con man. Because a few moments of feeling special will more than make up for a miserable, lonely life that ends in premature death for you and your children.
