Did Trump Really Not Know The Words To The National Anthem?


HawgGoneIt

Recommended Posts

I haven't really noticed anyone taking post shots at the president for his strange "lip syncing" and movements during the anthem on here. 

 

He didn't belt it out with the crowd for whatever reason. He seemed to mumble through it, moving his lips at times, as if to sing... something. Often it didn't match up with the point in the song where it actually was. 

 

I suppose no one on here that enjoyed downing Obama for not wearing a lapel pin at times, really found any issues with the "performance" of the president?

President Trump was mocked Monday night for seemingly not knowing the words to "The Star Spangled Banner." At the College Football Playoff National Championship game in Atlanta, GA, Trump mouthed parts of the anthem — though it wasn't clear what he was actually singing.

And while the world is debating whether the president knows or doesn't know the lyrics to the national anthem, his body language revealed something more: He was nervous. That's according to nonverbal communication and human behavior expert Patti Wood, who told Refinery29 that Trump's body language pointed to the fact that he was in a stressful situation.

"There's inconsistencies in his behavior throughout the anthem — and it's not a long song," Wood, who has more than 35 years of experience as a body language expert, said. "He had two choices: He could be very solemn and still, or he could be rousing and look up to the crowd, sort of saying: Isn't this fantastic? This is our national anthem. He didn't do either of those."

Trump has spent months crusading against the NFL, specifically Black athletes, who have chosen to kneel during the national anthem as a way of protesting police brutality and racial inequality. And just hours before the game, he revived the controversy, telling the audience at the American Farm Bureau Federation in Nashville, TN: "There’s plenty of space for people to express their views and to protest, but we love our flag and we love our anthem and we want to keep it that way."

For Wood, Trump's behavior was the "antithesis" of how he has said people should behave while "The Star Spangled Banner" plays. First, he broke away from the norm established by other elected officials, who typically sing the whole anthem. And then his behavior throughout the song made it seem like he was uncomfortable.

"For the brief period that he has his hand over his heart, he's tapping with the tip of his fingers over his heart. That's highly unusual," she said, adding that the movement is a comfort cue and generally shows the person is feeling anxious. She continued, "He's tapping faster than the anthem, which typically signals a desire to get through it — to get to the other side of the anxious situation."

Wood also pointed out that the president was swaying while the anthem played. She said: "That would be normal if it was a fight song or a rousing song. But there's a solemnity to the national anthem, so people stand still as a sign of respect and reverence."

That's certainly something that we've seen Trump do before. "He does this normally when he's standing in a situation where nothing is going on and he is not in control of it," Wood said. "It's a comfort cue. You see this on children and the elderly."

Though we don't know what was going on in Trump's mind while the stadium sang "The Star Spangled Banner," his body cues point out that his anxiety was really taking over. Wood highlighted that at the beginning Trump seemed unsure of whether the anthem had begun to play, either because it started differently or he couldn't hear due to the noise in the stadium.

There's also the chance he just doesn't know the lyrics. And he's not alone on that front, either. According to a 2014 Harris Interactive survey, about 61% of American adults don't know all the words to the anthem. But it's worth pointing out that, unlike Trump, those people are probably not on a "patriotic" crusade against those who choose to protest under the protection of the First Amendment.

I'm just following the lead of HSFBfan, and others. Look down the subject page here fcol.

Because this is about Trump, you guys don't have issue. If it was a headline where Trump is trying to step on someone's right to protest during the anthem that he appears to not even know the words to, you fools would have 30+ pages in it already. 

:D

At least he knew that the National Anthem was for the United States of America unlike the last dude in office. And these incredibly informing news briefs fit you and your ink just perfectly.

The guys a Coke head that being said u gotta give him slack ... all the other presidents were politicians and had experience in said field,,, which on the other hand Trump is fresh off off the block , a virgin in the political world...

 

he is is way over his head... he went from grabbing women by the pussy to being in charge of a country with hundreds of millions of people within 1 night ,.... he didn’t want this ,, he wanted to lose by close enough to make his point but the dumbass people thought otherwise and elected him can’t blame them when our only options was Hillary the doucheand a Pot head that doesn’t know what Syria is 

all he wanted to do was lose and make TrumpTv show series 

 

so that being said I think we all should take one on the chin suck it up live your life and trying to make as much money as you can

 

that being said Goodday
