I'm more concerned that I am pretty sure he used to know the words.

But has he ever known what's in the constitution? I'm not convinced.

My disclaimer - Voted for Johnson (so neither a Hillary or Trump supporter), think trump is very bad for this country but unless and until he does something actually impeachable, think impeachment would be worse....). I recorded the game but missed the intro so when i saw FB friends gushing about Trump messing up the words to the anthem, I was thinking did he sing it? Oh this is a train wreck...

Of course that wasn't it, but I watched the video.

Sometimes before a game, or a race, I will also sing along, and sometimes not sing the whole thing. Doesn't mean i don't know the words.

And yes, I get that he brings most of this scorn on himself. If he'd just shut up 50% his life would be a lot better. But he can't.

So even as an Anti Trump person, I gotta say "meh," and criticism here dilutes criticism of more important issues.

YMMV of course.

It's a bad look. It's difficult to tell if he is only partially singing, or if he forgot the words, or he's having trouble with echo in the stadium (which can really suck), etc.

But the problem is that he looks like he's forgetting and possibly getting some words wrong, he can't keep his hand still on his chest, and he's spent a shit ton of time crapping on NFL players for not honoring the anthem. If you're going to go out there and make the grand gesture, you've gotta sing that anthem loud and strong, or remain completely stoic. You can't go half and half, without inviting criticism.

This. If you are going to interject yourself into an issue that really isn't under the purview of the POTUS, you better be on point in a moment like this.

Why was Trump even there? Not a game POTUS usually attends, he seems to dislike football in general, and he thinks Atlanta is disgusting. Was the Waffle House calling that strong? I wish he would have trolled the TDS'ers by tweeting his presence motivated the two teams to play the greatest college football championship ever.

Pretending to be a little bit humble, perhaps? Because it’s a daunting task to be the best at everything ever.

Good question, so, I looked it up. POTUS traditionally attends the Army/Navy game, but, you are right - not much of a history of attending this game.

I dunno. Well, I did comment on the Championship Game thread that this was one location where he could get a prolonged ovation. SEC country is Trump-land.

I've mentioned this before but I participate in a regional fishing forum with lots of Bama, Auburn and Georgia fans. Most of them seem to love Trump.

Hard for me to criticize him for this. If I was POTUS, I would go to any and every sporting event I felt like. Though the security concerns would drive my Secret Service detail nuts.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

He's trying to solidify his Southern vote. He was talking to farmers earlier, and he saw an opportunity to do the anthem thing. Didn't work out great for him, doesn't seem.

Trump didn't get a good reception in Atlanta. Not really surprising after what he said about the city.

Fans projected Fuck Trump onto the stadium and booed him.

Well this is admittedly true, though most Americans didn't publicly rail on the protesting athletes for disrespecting the anthem.

Bingo. What better place to come to stroke his ego. Didn't even have the decency to give a rats ass about singing the anthem. I live in the heart of SEC farm country and work not far from where the game was played. Doesn't stop people in the LR telling me I'm clueless about what conservatives really think. My neighbors on both sides paint the picture pretty well.

Well that was also that Bama player who's on tape yelling Fuck Trump but now has changed his story to Fuck Georgia.

How many "ants" do *you* need to see before you accept that Trump is the deranged one, not us?

Why does it have to be an either or question?
