* Trump thinks of himself as a special person with his own Praetorian Guard, the roman elite imperial bodyguard, & care not how he inconvenience the average American Joe, seeking to watch a sports game. Trump is endlessly shitting on everything in government and america, with no empathy. *

Imagine how Rubio, Ted Cruz, Linsey Graham, and Trump, et al would respond if O attended a basketball game while a US chopper was being shot down in a warzone. Then watch how they jump to defend Trump's behavior last night.

Why wouldn’t people boo, Trump is going to sports events, playing golf, stuffing his face with hamburgers while the rest of us are having trouble making ends meet, playing 4 dollars plus for gas and not knowing how long this war will last. A war that he started.

I'm sure he would assert that he is Commander in Chief of the military. However, traditionally only active-duty soldiers and veterans in uniform with headgear are required to salute the flag during the national anthem. It was considered bad form to do so in civilian clothes.

No. Nor is it okay for military school cadets who claim their academy is harsher than the actual military. Boy Scouts, I think, are allowed to salute if they are wearing hats.

Now, they did change the rules in 2009 so that veterans and active duty soldiers out of uniform could salute while out of uniform, but I don't believe they are required to do so. I know some consider it gauche and fear it encourages civilians to think they can do it.

What is the proper etiquette? Hand over heart? I'm Canadian civilian, but I'm curious what the American convention is. I didn't know that it was a faux pas to salute the flag. I saluted the flag in Scouts, but it's also a distinctly Canadian (and therefore British) arm of the organization.

Was this okay for his heart conditions? It’s nice his granddaughter was nearby to change his diaper. Having family to help out with such things when aging is nice to see.

If the regular fans weren’t priced out of the game, we’d have heard the JEFF-REY EP-STEIN!!! JEFF-REY EP-STEIN!!! chant by now

The tweets about how very rude and nasty New Yorkers were to “your favorite president” are going to be hilarious, but it’s going to be less funny when he unleashes ICE en masse in New York to violently crack heads just for revenge.
