Then he acts like the buffoon he is during the Anthem. Normally the person would be chastised as a hypocrite and an idiot, but this is Trump and Trump gets to act like a complete ass while criticizing people for doing way less than he does.

Trump would have been the first one to be foaming at the mouth if President Obama did not solemnly stand there with hand on heart, with a patriotic tear in his eye.
