        Shaun, we know he doesn't automatically respect war vets. Well, unless they aren't captured.

        So much respect for this man. If my grandpas (Navy/Army, Korean War) were still here they'd be taking one too. They all made America great.

        If Trump wants to define patriotism as attacking POWs and gold star families, then we all need to take a knee
