Actually people who are kneeling are not disrespecting the Military. There is nothing in the articles that say you have to stan, just like there are nothing that says you have to put your hand over your heart. These are more traditions than anything else. I am sure most people do not even know why some players kneel instead of just sitting on the bench.
As for Trump, I would not say he is a hypocrite, instead like a lot of things he does or does not do, he just plain ignorant. I am sure when they started to play retreat, he had no clue what it means. When he saw all the service men and women stand, face the flag and either salute or put their hands over their heart, he still did not understand what was going on just from his comments. I am also sure that once he did understand he neither cared or dismiissed it as something he doesn't have to respect.
