News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Sept. 28, 2017: The World’s Fastest man has yet to respond to US President Donald Trump’s tweet of a 2012 video that shows him cutting off an interview so he can stand in silence for “The Star-Spangled Banner” but tweeters have clapped back aplenty on his behalf.

The Twitter controversy comes after Trump brought Bolt into his criticism of NFL athletes kneeling for the anthem in protest of racism in the USA by tweeting Tuesday night: “Even Usain Bolt from Jamaica, one of the greatest runners and athletes of all time, showed RESPECT for our National Anthem.” Here are 10 tweeters who clapped back hard.
