An irony being that in many cultures, including the non-military sections of NFL’s heartland… the act of kneeling is considered submissive, unassertive, and respectful. An act one does toward a treasured higher-class. Possibly even sacred.
So these guys choose kneeling in an attempt to offend.
Conservative icon George F. Will: " Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic." As others have pointed out, Trump’s rally that day wasn’t getting nearly enough of the cheap applause he so desperately and pathetically needs. Therefore, floundering around, he tossed a Hail Mary pass of ignorance and bigotry to his audience of ignorant bigots. (We all know if the players protesting during the anthem were white, Trump NEVER would have mentioned the protests.) Trump is simply against what the players were demonstrating in favor of: liberty and justice for ALL.
