Donald Trump Responds to NFL's Anthem Rule Changes

The president is a fan of the NFL's new national anthem rules.

As Fox & Friends shared on Twitter, Donald Trump said of rule changes requiring players on the field to stand during the national anthem prior to games in the 2018 season, "You have to stand proudly for the National Anthem. You shouldn't be playing, you shouldn't be there. Maybe they shouldn't be in the country...the NFL owners did the right thing."
