Donald Trump actually said...

"When you go down and take a knee or any other way, you're sitting essentially for our great National Anthem, you're disrespecting our flag and you're disrespecting our country."

"Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. He's fired!"

"They disagree with their president because he insists they proudly stand for the National Anthem, hand on heart in honor of the great men and women of our military and the people of our country."

"The appointment of the special counsel is totally unconstitutional."
