Throwing this out for comments. I'm reading it as Trump violates the US Constitution when he criticises protesting athletes.
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."
- Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. 1943
