Hannity interviewed Trump at a military base. "Retreat" was played. Hannity & Trump joked through it

This was at the Air National Guard Base in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Neither Trump nor Hannity showed any sign that they recognized what was being played, or undeerstood that it was being played as the flag was lowered. And remember, Trump went to a military academy.

Trump joked this evening that the music was for Hannity, and then started praising him for his ratings.

Here's one of many tweets about it




and a second tweet showing Robin Williams when "Retreat" was played:





Editing to add YouTube video of the entire interview. The section I'm talking about starts at 18:58. Trump actually says, first to Hannity, "Are they playing that for you or for me?"...and then, to the crowd, "They're playing that in honor of his ratings."

He stopped and did what everybody else did. He even snatched off his hat. And he waited patiently until it was over, silent and respectful.

It was not that long ago he got his drawers in a wad over what he thought was football players showing disrespect for the flag. Is it entirely different for Trump?

Start the clip at the 18:00 mark and notice the booing from the Real American Patriots™ in the audience (who later will also ignore Retreat) when wad-of-slime Hannity, mentions John McCain to the orange draft-dodger.

And after, he talks about ratings. Ratings! He's obsessed with ratings!
