I hate Trump for making this political!

I have always loved our National Anthem. I am the one at our yearly Super Bowl party that encourages everyone to stand in our local bar!
I love the song, I love the flyovers, and I love my Country!
Put me in the corner, but I am patriotic, and I won't apologize for it!
I will continue to proudly stand, and I will silently wish that everyone would join me. But if they don't I won't say a word! Nor will I judge them for not standing.
So Fuck You Donald Trump for making my standing a political statement!

He always has to make everything about him.

He intends on making the national symbols about him!

In the process he has excited his base and diverted the media attention from the fact that he doing NOTHING to help Puerto Rico.

The song extols the virtues of drinking wine. That could go a long way to explaining that melody because I think if I drank enough wine, I could hit far more of the notes, than I can when sober.
