As President Donald Trump’s motorcade drove to Indianapolis International Airport, this is the sight that greeted it:
A man taking a knee on the sidewalk. In his hand, a folded American flag.
The photo was shot Wednesday by a photographer accompanying the President as he left Indianapolis after delivering a speech on tax cuts at the state fairgrounds.
The photo offers no other detail about the man, or whether he’s a veteran.
After Trump criticized football players who kneel during the National Anthem to protest police brutality, there have been numerous instances of veterans, athletes and others taking a knee in solidarity. There has also been a backlash over the protests.
Trump and his aides have argued the protests are unpatriotic and disrespectful to the flag and those who have fought to protect the US.
