TAMPA (WFLA) -.............................

In a statement, the former president claimed the team was “headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze.”



As part of his statement, Trump criticized Megan Rapinoe and her teammates for kneeling during the playing of the U.S. national anthem at the Tokyo Olympics.

“There were a few Patriots standing. Unfortunately, they need more than that respecting our Country and National Anthem,” Trump contended.

Although viral posts on Facebook alleged several took a knee in protest, no players knelt after the team decided earlier this year to stop kneeling during the anthem.

Here he is during the National Anthem at Mar-a-Lago Super Bowl party.

Instead, Trump can be seen gesturing and pointing at others in the room. When anthem singer Demi Lovato hits the “rockets’ red glare” line of the song, Trump puts both hands up and twirls them like an orchestral conductor. The president then turns to the side and aggressively points at someone - twice - on the other side of the room.
