Leaked Video of Trump Goofing Off During National Anthem at Sunday's Super Bowl Has People Calling Him Out

Leaked Video of Trump Goofing Off During National Anthem at Sunday's Super Bowl Has People Calling Him Out

President Donald Trump has been very clear about his stance on any protests against police brutality, racial inequality and injustice that occur during the national anthem.

Less clear is his stance on his own behavior.


In the wake of an embarrassing display of ignorance regarding the location of Kansas City, a new Twitter moment is developing over Trump's performance as Demi Lovato sang the anthem during Sunday's Super Bowl.

Trump did not attend the game in Miami. Instead he spent the time with paying international customers at Mar-a-Lago in nearby Palm Beach, Florida.

One of those willing to pay to spend time with the President released a video of what Trump was doing during the anthem Sunday. The video was posted to Instagram by a "real estate agent for a Russian-American firm who frequents Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties and events."

From there it moved to Twitter. While First Lady Melania Trump stands still with her hand on her heart, her husband looks more like a hyperactive toddler than a man devoted to respecting the flag or the anthem.

You can watch the video here:





His prior behavior during the anthem—where he fidgeted and appeared to not know the words—was noted.

Trump also seems unfamiliar with other well known patriotic songs like "God Bless America."


Not content to allow the President to stand alone in his hypocrisy, conservative pundits and the President's favorite network—unless they criticize him—decided to be hypocritical as well.

Fox News and others attacked Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter for remaining seated during the anthem.






As expected, these same critics of non-violent protest by people of color remained silent about the anthem antics of the President.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
