the president singing along to the national anthem. the u.s. marine nd, army corps performing for the supporters who were in attendance. the president claims he disinvited the eagles because they would not stand quote for the national an they will. in honor ohe gref our military. in other words, they aren't in his view, patriots. but is that reahis is all about? one heckler at today's event may be on to something. listen. >> stop hiding behind the mask -- >> stop hiding. he may have a point because trump's tantrum about the eagles and this disinviting scenario may have nothing to do with the kneeling or flag. it may be about him, which is why he may have been at a loss for words when reporters asked questions at his celebration. >> president -- are you saying that the b football players are not patriotic, sir? >> will you meet with the ath alitos and talk to them? >> we know the president is happy to take questions when he likes the topics. here he is last week. you could see all four times. he returneded to the camera to to the camera to take m

having really nothing to do with the national anthem. but as you read there, you can he eagles as the white t in a house tries to spin what's happening here. i'll read more of it. she says, unfortunately, the eagles offered to send only a tiny handful of representatives while making clear that the great majority of players would not attend the event. despite planning to be in d.c. today. the vast majority of the eagles team decided to abandon their fans. so at this point, we understand people who the white house says are from out of state, meaning they are not from pennsylvania. could be eagles fans but certainly not from pennsylvania who will be here on hand for this event at 3:00 eastern, which the white house has rebranded as a celebration of america, craig. >> all right. and there's of course the briefing coming up here at the top of the hour. i imagine this is a question that sarah huckabee sanders will be as mr. bennett, thank you. michael steele is an msnbc political analyst, he's also former chairman of the republican national co

different celebration, one that he says will "honor our great country and loudly and proudly play the national anthem." >> trevor: he's simple but he's ilant. yeah. think about it, whenever trump is losing an argument, he just grabs the anthem and holds it in front of himself. that's all he does. he holds it in front of himself. "you wouldn't hurt the anthem, would you, would you? it's the anthem." he probably uses the anthem to win arguments all a is probablyt tonight, donald, i'm not in the mood." and donald is like, ♪ oh, say can you see "that doesn't work for me. i'm from slovenia." so instead of holding an eagles the president hosted an anthem party. if you're thinking i've never heard of an anthem par. there's no such thing. still, it featured all your favorite sports stars like mike pence and secretary of the treasury, steve "the mooch" mnuchin. you would think if you invited people over for a patriotism party, you would at least know the wordmerica's favorite songs. ♪ from the mountains to the prairies ♪ to the oceans white with foam ♪ god bless america my home, sweet home ♪ >> trevor: ♪ oooo
