Standing Ovation
One of the best times during President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address came when he mentioned the importance of standing for the national anthem, a remark that served as a subtle jab at NFL players who earns millions but not doing anything.

Sharp is a guest of first lady Melania Trump at the State of the Union.
