1. Gawd, he is such a

fucking tool. Look at his smug face! He's an embarrassment.

[vi5]

2. I'm sure we'll be hearing about this on Fox and friends...

...you know, endless think pieces and discussions from true patriots about why the president hates America and has so little respect for it's traditions.

[mcar]

4. Can you imagine the media and RW s$!t storm if Obama

did that? I remember the ruckus when he once didnt wear a flag pin.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Plus, Barron's restlessness

Remember when Malia and Sasha did subtle eyerolls at a turkey pardoning and Republicans lost their minds? They were "rude" and "disrespectful"! Actually, they were acting like normal teenage girls, just as Barron showed boredom and couldn't keep still as the speeches went on. That, too, was normal for his age.

23. IOKIYAR

Never fails.

[Hortensis]

32. It's normal for his age, and I have two grandsons

his age and cut them all a lot of slack. But I've never seen him looking pleasant, dignified and still, the way Malia and Sasha and both of ours can manage, both on command and without, for some while. Or interested or involved, looking around curiously or spontaneously returning a smile or wave.

Whatever. Hopefully this isn't going to be particularly difficult for him to get through since there's really nowhere for a president's son to go.

37. They went apeshit every time he walked by a serviceman and didn't salute too.

Board after board filled with discussion over that egregious behavior.

Hypocrite assholes.

3. I wonder if he's just a putz or if he thought they were singing it for him!?

[Progressive dog]

5. From his facial expression

I guess he thinks they're singing for him.

[Docreed2003]

7. That was exactly my first thought...

That smirk on his face reeks of someone eating up the adulation, like some despot.

[NastyRiffraff]

18. I hate, hate, HATE that smirk

It's smug and annoying. I really hate it.

[TeamPooka]

13. That was my first thought too. Looks like he's reveling in it

[PsychoBabble]

6. Is Melania blinking out an

SOS??

[louis-t]

9. Ha!

[romanic]

8. Melania needs to whoop his ass

She would make a better president than he ever could be.

[lame54]

10. that way she knows where his hand is

[nini]

11. The look on his face when he acts like a king

makes me want to vomit.

[louis-t]

12. You all remember the photo, right?

3 seconds before Obama put his hand on his heart during national anthem and the caption was "HE REFUSED TO PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HEART!!!!1!1!1!1"

[marlakay]

14. I bet she gets in trouble

For making him look bad. Her doing that made it more noticeable.

[flying-skeleton]

15. MORON-IN-CHIEF !!

[keithbvadu2]

17. Patriotic respect

[jmowreader]

19. Always keep in mind...

This is the bastard who flew a garrison flag from an 80-foot flagpole at Mar-a-lago in violation of two city ordinances, one that limits flag size to 4x6 (a garrison flag is 20x38), the other that limits flagpole height to 42 feet. He didn't get either a building permit or a code variance for the installation. Then he sued the city on freedom of speech grounds because the smaller flag and lower pole wouldn't "appropriately express the magnitude of Donald J. Trump's and the Club's members' patriotism." (This from a guy who got out of serving his country because one of his feet was sore - and now he can't even tell you which one it was.)

Someone who has patriotism of this magnitude has a strange way to show it - marries two communist wives, borrows money from Russian oligarchs because American banks won't lend him any, rigs an election, and has to be reminded to put his tiny hand over his tinier heart when the national anthem plays.

[tiptonic]

20. Wonder

He is a sad 'wonder'. Wonder where he gets his cocaine.

[yuiyoshida]

21. Wow that is so telling...

Maybe he thinks the National Anthem is his THEME song and its all about him. His warped mind seems to think, he is not the President, but the KING, and in his Kingdom, he can do whatever the hell he wants, because he is ENTITLED!

Grifter, is more like it. He is scamming this country so he can make billions. PT Barnum would be so proud, maybe.

[mcar]

24. It looked to me like he drifted off

I seriously suspect some type of dementia.

[yuiyoshida]

26. Isn't it amazing that our country doesn't have

some kind of psychological testing before one can qualify to lead this NATION?

[mcar]

31. Yeah

[yuiyoshida]

33. i made a poll..

22. Can you imagine if Michelle had to nudge Barack?

Chaffetz would hold hearings. Trump is pure trash

[mcar]

25. It would be a media sensation

[rpannier]

27. Was probably waiting for Lee Greenwood to sing his craptacular song

[liberal N proud]

28. That's why all the conservatives are outraged and calling for him to resign.

[progree]

29. Folks, it's not his national anthem. Here is his:

Sorry I couldn't find a version that celebrated Russia winning the U.S. 2016 elections, but I figured one celebrating the taking of Crimea from the Ukraine would be a close second.

[The Blue Flower]

30. Anyone else notice how he pats his chest after crossing his heart?

It's still only about him.

[mnmoderatedem]

34. welcome once again to another episode of

What if Obama had done it?

[kcr]

35. What is it with the hand on the heart for the anthem, though?

Not to defend Trump, but hand on the heart is for the pledge, not the anthem. But all of a sudden I'm seeing people getting shit for not putting their hand on their heart during the anthem. Gabbi Douglas, the gymnast did during the Olympics, for example. But I never do either. It's just habit.

[mcar]

36. I never do it either

It's just become one of those things that politicians have to do to prove their patriotism. Like the stupid flag pins.
