President Trump on National Anthem Day said all Americans should “proudly stand for the national anthem,” echoing his frequent demand that professional athletes stand during the national anthem.

“We salute our great American flag, we put our hands on our hearts for the Pledge of Allegiance, and we all proudly stand for the National Anthem,” Trump said in a video taken at CPAC that he retweeted on Saturday.

Last year, the president began a feud with the National Football Association after he said team owners should fire players that kneel during the national anthem.

Trump has repeatedly said that professional athletes should stand during the national anthem. He has brought up the hot-button issue during widely seen events, like the State of the Union and the Super Bowl.
