I think it goes without saying most here know how much I hate that fucker. But not bowing your head or singing a song does not mean the same hate he has and selfishness he has. There were times at the Unitarian Church I used to attend where I did not do certain things, and nobody batted an eye.
I wouldn't have bowed my head or sang either. Not out of hate, but simply because it is not my thing. Trump did that for a far different reason. He did it because he was put in a position he was not used to, actually having to be at an event that was not about him. He hated the imagery of that row of political diversity honoring someone who wasn't a dick like him.
When my late mother's memorial was held at her assisted living home, I made the arrangements as per her beliefs, bought the flowers and food. I let the priest say what he wanted, and let the music play as it did, and let the mourners say what they wanted. But I didn't bow my head or pray myself. I didn't refrain out of protest or spite, but simply because it was not my thing. My late mother would have understood.
His body language to me wasn't about " I hate religion" but more like " how can I play a good Jerry Springer Mafia boss if I have to restrain myself."
But it is a bit hypocritical of him to vilify NFL players for not being sheep while doing what he did today.
