Twice this week Donald Trump has brought up Drew Brees and criticized his decision to apologize for equating kneeling during the anthem with disrespect for America.

"I was shocked," Trump said Thursday. "I think he hurt himself very badly and I was going to put out that I think he'll regret that in future years. ... I don't believe he believes his second statement."

Brees' second statement came after several long discussions with teammates and friends around the league.
