I think it is Mr. Trump's reaction to the kneeling, during the National Anthem, is what is most telling about Mr. Trump. He is taking it way more personally then any one I've ever seen. He is taking as disloyalty or protest of the Office of the President or more likely as disloyalty or protest of Mr. Trump.

Given how our country was made and set up when we stand for the National Anthem we are showing respect for all our citizens that makes our country what it is. We are a country that was made by the people for the people first and foremost.

The rules and codes of conduct, for the national anthem and our flag were created to help the people of our country to know how to show respect for the people of our country, respect for all the people we elected to represent us to help run the country, to show respect for our country and what it stands for, and to show respect for those that fought and at times died for our country and its people. It was not made so the people could show respect and loyalty to just Mr. Trump. For Mr. Trump it seems at times he believes is first and foremost about him.

As for the kneeling for the national anthem in protest, I don't consider that to be all the disrespectful. These people, that are protesting, are still acknowledging the anthem is being played. Considering how difficult it can be to take a knee (Just getting down there and back up can be very difficult.) they aren't taking the easy way out by just sitting there to protest. It seems to me the protesters still made some effort for some respect of the anthem.

What annoys me is that I saw some people in interviews on tv complain about the kneeling during the anthem when they are on screen wearing an American flag as cape or in some other manner. Wearing an American flag in such a manner is against the rules and codes of how our flag is to be displayed and treated if your being respectful of our flag and country. I understand they are trying to support and love our country by doing that, but it is very disrespectful.
