President Trump neglected to salute the flag during a military ceremony at an Airforce hangar in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night.

Trump, who has excoriated NFL players for disrespecting the flag during the national anthem, openly questioned why a the bugle sound of “Retreat” was playing in the background, according to the military publication Task and Purpose.

The commander-in-chief, who was being interviewed by Sean Hannity, even jokingly speculated that the longstanding military tradition was celebrating the cable host’s ratings.

“What a nice sound that is,” Trump said to Hannity as the tune began playing. “Are they playing that for you or for me?”

During the ceremony, the American flag is lowered and raised as both service members and civilians pay their respects, Task and Purpose explained.

While members of the audience stood up behind Trump to salute the flag, the president appeared to be unaware of the tradition.

“They’re playing that in honor of his ratings,” Trump joked, referring to the Fox News anchor. “He’s beating everybody.”
