1. This is unacceptable, it would be dangerous for him to visit the WH

let alone be president.

I am not kidding when I tell you something MUST be done.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. "Donald, please, place your hand over your heart."

"Melania, you know I don't have a heart."

"Fair enough."

[Mr. Ected]

3. As long as he's wearing his flag pin, all gaffes are forgiven

And Donald, it's not "Endure the Republic, 4 witches stand". Common mistake.

[WinkyDink]

4. When did this gesture start? We put our hand over our heart for the Pledge of Allegiance, NOT the

SSB. We SING the National Anthem, and we don't do that with one hand on our heart!

STOP THE MADNESS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. I think it's been like that for a while.

You go to ballgames and you often see the players with either their hands or hats over their heart.

[WinkyDink]

21. Then they aren't singing. Probably just listening to some diva.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. Not sure what you mean. I've done it all my life and still do. EVERY time.

In uniform was the only time I did it different. Then it was covered and saluting. All other times it was hat off (if worn) and hand or hat on heart.

[WinkyDink]

20. I'm not sure if I do. I sing it proudly, however. Maybe I just need to be in a situation again to

see how I react.

[WinkyDink]

22. Yes, yes, nobody is talking about hats. One sings the anthem; one doesn't just stand mute with a

hand gesture.

24. When you have a professional singer, you may well let her take the anthem

That seems the more common thing to do in the USA, in fact.

eg:

[Gidney N Cloyd]

10. I remember it your way but I think there's been some protocol changes over the years.

President Obama got criticized for something similar many years ago.

[WinkyDink]

23. Ha! I'm sure Obama did! We could expect nothing less!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. "The pivot is coming......any.second.now"

[NurseJackie]

6. They're all such phonies.

Posing and smirking and strutting around.

[Javaman]

9. 1) I don't think he gives any shits at all

2) I think he's in the early stages of dementia.

3) when in doubt about the orange menace, refer to either of the above.

11. She and Barron look joyful.

They have probably gotten so used to not being around him that now when they have to they are starting to realize the full force of his awfulness.

[MFM008]

12. as long as he shoots off those rockets

that he owns stock in, at an empty airport in Syria
or blows a MOAB, the weak minded will be ALL IN.

[kairos12]

13. It wasn't the Russian National Anthem so he forgot.

[ProudLib72]

14. Just look at them

What is Barron learning from watching his demented father? In a way, I think Melania has the right idea keeping her son away from that man. He's off in his own little world, completely oblivious to everything going on around him.

[Skittles]

16. I hope Barron is doing alright

I feel sorry for him - he lives a life of luxury, but I sense he does not have it easy

[duncang]

18. His only thought at the time

With his shit eating grin is people are looking at me. I'm special.

[Skittles]

19. correct

to Donald, there is nothing bigger than Donald, and he really does not like having to defer the spotlight to ANYTHING else

[Blue_Tires]

25. It's funny because his immigrant trophy wife is the one to remind him...
