    The correct response any respectable self-respecting president would have made to the athlete’s comments: “The man is American. In America we say what we want, that’s what makes America great. He doesn’t agree with me. That’s okay too, disagreement is an American tradition. I have my job and he has his- and I wish him the best of luck in doing his. Make us proud Hunter!”
