Trump: "I wanna take this opportunity to 'splain why young Americans stand for our Nat'l Anthem"



Video starts around the 29 minute mark.

He makes the remarks in my subject line around the 33 minute mark.

Trump seems to know about half the words to the National Anthem.

Around the 34 minute mark, he pimps his "accomplishments"..."Our country's never done better than it's doing right now."

"Record numbers at every (pause) outpost!'



Repeats the bit about how deceased Military members are "looking down" and "are very proud."

It ends at the 37 minute mark.

How about closing the concession stands during the anthem? No sale of beer, popcorn and hotdogs during the anthem.

I can hear his voice even now: "A loudmouth braggart. A disgrace to all who have fought and died for this country." And don't even get me started on what my cousin (a German POW) would say.

Turn down the volume and cover your ears.
