United States President Donald Trump faced a fresh wave of backlash for his únfit' behaviour over the American national anthem. The US President can be seen making hand gestures and pretending to be a part of an orchestra while others standstill. The video was shared by a Congressman, David Cicilline who criticised Trump for 'claiming to be a patriot' and then mocked the POTUS for 'having such respect for the national anthem'.
For someone who claims to be such a patriot (and who attacked NFL players protesting police brutality), it sure doesn’t seem like @realDonaldTrump has a lot of respect for the National Anthem. pic.twitter.com/VrPBx1HXzo

Netizens find Trump 'disrespectful'
The video was shared on Twitter on February 4 and within a few hours, it has been viewed over a million times. The internet users are not only calling the US President 'disrespectful' but one of them also claimed that Trump 'has dementia'. The user claimed to be a retired administrator for a dementia care facility, and said that she has been 'saying that for two years now'. The backlash became more intense with users addressing Donald Trump as 'Mad Kind Donald'.
As a retired administrator for a dementia care facility, I can promise you he HAS dementia!! Not Alzheimer’s, but frontotemporal dementia - FTD! I’ve been saying this for 2yrs now. This is not a “pass”, but a how unfit he is as POTUS!!

Not only is this disgustingly disrespectful and hypocritical, but this behavior is consistent with someone who is really drunk. I call bullshit on the whole no drinking thing. Either that or it’s his dementia combined with massive quantities of Adderall.

Mad King Donald has a serious, degenerative, organic brain disorder. This is not just a psychiatric problem, his brain is disintegrating. I'm waiting for the excuse he comes up with to explain this. I recall Reagan's secrecy about Alzheimers. This is not any different.

His behavior is consistently reprehensible

This was beyond unpatriotic, it was flat out disrespectful of the United States, but then are you really surprised?

He wouldn’t dare behave like that if Russia’s national anthem were being played.

He is a toddler who is in constant attention-seeking mode. "All eyes on me, Mom"! It makes me think of the way he glanced back at @SpeakerPelosi during the SOTU speech. He had to make sure that she was giving him the approving clap he so desperately needs. Such a child! pic.twitter.com/BOQCiJx9I9
