President Donald Trump may have fumbled through the national anthem at the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday night, but he’s getting at least one rave review.
Not surprisingly, it comes from his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr.
Hours after clips of the president not even mouthing all the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner” went viral, the younger Trump took to Twitter to sing his father’s praises.
And that folks is how it’s done. It’s not that hard. Just show some respect for your country. #nodrama #maga #america #potus #georgia #alabama #football pic.twitter.com/x3I9AvZNXk

Predictably, the tweet opened the door to lots of snark.
Hahahahahahahahahaha. He doesn't know the words. After a year of complaining about people disrespecting the national anthem, he gets a chance to show his stuff, and he completely blows it. #DotardTrump

Is this a picture from the recent rally where he forgot he words to the national anthem and there is now a viral video of him clear rambling under his breath while our country’s song is being played

Easy to put your hand over your heart. Might be nice if he knew the words to the National Anthem. That’s what Americans do that are proud & respect our country. #SelfAwarenessIsNotYourThing

He kept lifting his hand away, like it was hard to concentrate on keeping it there. Also, I'm Canadian and I know all the words to The Star Spangled Banner. I can even translate it to French. Your father can't even sing along in English.

You better hope he remembers you in the will better than he remembers the words to the anthem, junior.

Some people had a dream, a simple dream.
It would be great, if the President of the United States know the words of the national anthem. Not more, not less.

One person posted a GIF suggesting a certain cavalier attitude toward the anthem isn’t exactly a new thing for Trump.

At least one guy was willing to give the president the benefit of the doubt.
Hey he knows the national anthem he got confused for a moment and was singing Russian anthem by accident I mean it happens, its like being married to one woman while cheating with another and you call your wife by mistress name by accident it happens

Trump Jr.’s tweet did get some sympathy from a man who’s been in the same situation: actor and comedian Tom Arnold.
I get it dude. You guys are practically family. I had Roseanne’s back when she f-ed up the National Anthem too. https://t.co/KjXG21406P
