President Trump scored a touchdown with some fans in Michigan Saturday with his condemnation of athletes who kneel during the singing of the national anthem.

“Trump has one of the best feels for what the American people believe in and what they think about,’’ said Saul Anuzis, a former Republican National Committee member, speaking at a statewide GOP conference. He had this suggestion for the protesting athletes: “If they are worried about inequality they can give away 90 percent of their salaries and they can be equal.’’

Auto union member Brian Pannebecker was equally outraged. “I’m a veteran,’’ he said. “My son is in the Army. . . . Standing on the sidelines on national TV when millions of people are watching you and disrespecting the flag and the national anthem, you are disrespecting the entire country.

“Trump is calling him out on it and I think it’s a beautiful thing.”

A former Congressional staffer, Jamie Roe, pointed out that the players had been protesting on “company time.’’ He suggested they demonstrate on their “own time.’’
