The whole reason I have you on ignore is purple. Which is not satire.

Me, too.
It’s permissible to do many things. Like take a knee. However, if you want to follow the flag code, it was changed in 2008 to indicate people not in uniform should place their hand over their heart. Presumably over their heart-shaped hole for those lacking a heart.
Blues saxophone?
He tried harmonica, but his fingers kept getting stuck in the holes.
I don’t see how anyone can watch the video and agree with you. First, what’s not seen is that the crowd was behind another barrier about 10 feet away. (see here at :27). I guess someone had to bring him the hat, and throwing it back would be ok, but Trump doesn’t even look up before flinging it in the air. It’s a miracle that anyone caught it.
The crowd is obviously surprised and disappointed for some reason and the only explanation is that the kid didn’t get the hat. Trump does the right thing and gets another hat (I assume from a staffer or other adult who is giving up their hat for the kid) and throws it with more care.
Then he holds up the pen and asks what everyone thinks is “whose hat?” but I assume he’s saying “whose that [pen belong to]?”
Mmm, free bacon.
Do I care so much about the hand over heart thing - nah - although boy do some people get their knockers in a twist about the protocol of this stuff. I did truly enjoy the elbow to the ribs though, with the nice little side glare. 
The noted sax player from Arkansas, Blind Willie Jefferson.
Well, you have to consider that Clothahump is severely mentally handicapped.
Simpsons reference, from an early season. Lisa wants to be a renowned blues saxophonist, but is hampered by inheriting her father’s “stumpy fingers.”
“Blues” in this case is not Delta blues or Piedmont blues, but post-WWII Chicago blues, with electric guitars and thumpy drum sets and horn sections. See also Kansas City blues, which coexisted with jazz (Count Basie’s band is the most famous) and featured plenty of trumpets and saxes.
Musicology hijack now over.
That is so politically incorrect! I just think of him as a retard.
Cognitively challenged.
It’s permissable to stand there tossing off. There are no Flag Police making sure you perform the appropriate kowtow. But if you’re the President, and you’re a member of the party that gave Obama eight years of shit for every perceived lapse in patriotic formality, then it’s a good idea to cover your heart when the anthem is played.
Especially when your immigrant wife has to remind you of your patriotic duty.
How about the *5-year-old-kid-swaying-to-music *moves he was making just before the nudge?
To be fair, she worked harder to become an American citizen than Trump has at, well, practically anything in his life, and likely values patriotism more than her husband who is willing to verbally fellate Vladimir Putin at the slightest provocation.

Bullshit. He was the best baseball player in the state of New York. He said so.
Big league!
All this shows is that when a mod calls you an idiot, you back down; when others call you an idiot, your feathers get ruffled.
You’re still an idiot, either way.
