ADADThe interview comes just one day after Trump, who has been widely panned for his response to the protests, announced executive action on policing. In the video of Floyd’s arrest last month, Derek Chauvin, who at the time was a Minneapolis police officer, was seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes while he was handcuffed on the ground. Trump has publicly condemned Floyd’s death, a stance he reiterated on Wednesday. But even though he is open to Kaepernick’s return, Trump made it clear Wednesday that he still staunchly disapproves of kneeling during the anthem. AD“When the national anthem plays and our flag, the great American flag is raised, you should not be kneeling,” Trump said.
