President Donald Trump sat down Wednesday for an interview with Sean Hannity to air in full Wednesday night on Fox News. And in a newly released preview excerpt, the President once again took on Colin Kaepernick and the subject of NFL protests.

“Frankly, the NFL should’ve suspended him for one game, and he would’ve never done it again,” Trump said. “They could’ve then suspended him for two games. And they could’ve suspended him a third time, if he did it, for the season. And you would never have had a problem.”

The interview was taped before a live audience in Dauphin County, PA — where Trump also delivered a speech on tax reform on Wednesday. The President’s remarks were met with loud cheers by the partisan crowd.

“You cannot disrespect our country, our flag, our Anthem. You cannot do that,” Trump said.
