Donald Trump tries to use Usain Bolt's respect for the US National anthem to slam the NFL team but it backfires

US President Donald Trump who has expressed his displeasure at NFL players 'taking the knee' during the national anthem, tried to use Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt to buttress his point about patriotism but it backfired on him.

Trump tweeted  this five-year-old video of Usain Bolt cutting a LIVE interview short, when the US National anthem started to play, during the London 2012 Summer Olympics, so that he could stand for the anthem. But this only caused an outrage. See the video and some of the angry tweets below:
