“Even Usain Bolt from Jamaica, one of the greatest runners and athletes of all time, showed RESPECT for our National Anthem!,” Trump after uploading a video that shows Bolt cutting off an interview so he could stand in silence for the American National Anthem.

The footage was back in 2012  at the Summer Olympics in London. Bolt is seen during an interview with Spain’s Television Espanola. He quietly stops the interview to stand in respect for the U.S. national anthem, which can be heard playing in the background of the arena.
