Donald Trump Jr., the son of President Donald Trump, on Tuesday praised his father for showing "some respect" for the national anthem and the American flag.
At Monday's national College Football National Championship, Trump made an appearance long enough to have his photo taken standing for the anthem before quickly departing back to Washington, D.C. In the past, the president has criticized professional football players who kneel during the anthem to protest systemic racism in the United States.
But after Trump was seen mouthing words that did not match the lyrics of The Star Spangled Banner, some questioned whether the president actually knows the words to his nation's anthem.
But not Don Jr. In a tweet on Tuesday, the president's son said that he was proud of his father for showing people "how it's done."
"It’s not that hard. Just show some respect for your country," Don Jr. wrote.
