President Donald Trump praised the decision of NFL club owners to require their players to stand while on the field during the national anthem.

“I think it’s good. You have to stand proudly for the national anthem or you shouldn’t be playing, you shouldn’t be there. Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country,” Trump told Fox and Friends on Thursday, May 24, morning.
