President Trump went after the NFL in an early morning tweet as players continue to kneel during the national anthem.

"Two dozen NFL players continue to kneel during the National Anthem, showing total disrespect to our Flag & Country," Trump tweeted on Monday.

"No leadership in NFL!"

Trump in recent weeks has been attacking NFL players who kneel in protest during the national anthem, which began last season when then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeled to protest police brutality against minorities.

On Sunday, some players on the 49ers kneeled during the national anthem ahead of their game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Trump last week urged supporters to sign a petition in support of standing during the national anthem.
