It was fairly obvious to those watching the championship college football game last night that Trump, arbiter of respect for the national anthem, doesn't even know the words.
Fox, of course, had a different take. (See above.) He "joined in." Uh huh.
Other takes:
You know who knows the words to the National Anthem?
Colin Kaepernick.
Trump, you're a disgrace.#NationalChampionship— Charlotte Clymer🏳️🌈 (@cmclymer) January 9, 2018
Trump either never knew or forgot the words to the national anthem.
➡️If it's the former, then he can STFU about Kaepernick et al kneeling.
➡️If it's the latter, then Paw-Paw's night nurse needs to come fetch him.#TuesdayThoughts#NationalChampionshippic.twitter.com/gIrkK1e8EQ— Holly Figueroa O'Reilly (@AynRandPaulRyan) January 9, 2018

Dear Donald Trump, this is what it looks like when a REAL President (@BarackObama) sings the National Anthem.
You may not like it when players kneel for the Anthem. I don't like it when a President butchers the National Anthem!#TuesdayThoughts pic.twitter.com/XVxpAazwyH— Ed Krassenstein (@EdKrassen) January 9, 2018
President Trump was seen singing along to the national anthem during Alabama and Georgia's championship showdown, but some social media skeptics say he missed some lines. https://t.co/ypH3Pt8Vzp pic.twitter.com/vZFJHi42s1

The fact that Donald Trump doesn't even know words to the National Anthem doesn't bother me. What bothers me is he doesn’t know the words in the United States Constitution. pic.twitter.com/Ie2PdFvEIW

I'm sure the guy who can't remember the words to the national anthem would hold up well under Mueller grilling.

#Russia's state TV reports Trump being mocked for forgetting the words to the national anthem 'Star-Spangled banner'—or inventing his own version. The host points out that, according to some, Trump may have been singing the Russian anthem instead. Hosts conclude: "It's possible." pic.twitter.com/Y2APuaGcct

The idea was simple, show up at the national championship game for a quick photo op.
Instead, Trump added jet fuel to the fire of speculation that he's not of sound mind & should be removed from office ASAP, by forgetting the words to our national anthem.https://t.co/VJsF4Vuiw4— Wes Jordan💦 (@wesley_jordan) January 9, 2018
