President Donald Trump sent Jamaicans into a frenzy Tuesday night when he tweeted a 2012 video that shows Usain Bolt cutting off an interview so he could stand in silence for the American National Anthem.
“Even Usain Bolt from Jamaica, one of the greatest runners and athletes of all time, showed RESPECT for our National Anthem,” Trump tweeted.
Trump made the remarks as he continues to denounce National Football League (NFL) players who are kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice.
