Trump shares hockey anthem video on Twitter

Hockey fans often relive classic moments on the Internet over the offseason.

Donald Trump appears to be doing the same. On Saturday, the U.S. president tweeted a video showing the playing of the American anthem prior to a game between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues last season.

"19,000 respecting our National Anthem!" Trump tweeted Saturday.

In the video, the arena announcer is overheard saying: "We ask all 19,000 of you fans in attendance to honor the contributions and the courage of those who have worn our nation's uniform with pride.

"Whether you bleed blue or wear the red, regardless of your political affiliation, we ask you to show both your pride in being an American and your thanks and appreciation for all of our country's veterans."

Trump's social media share comes about a week after he caused an uproar in the sports world by suggesting NFL owners fire players who choose to kneel during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
