The President says Drew Brees should NOT have apologized.
But, Trump says Drew had nothing to be sorry about ... writing,"There are other things you can protest, but not our Great American Flag - NO KNEELING!"
In his written apology ... Drew claimed his comments were"insensitive" and"missed the mark" -- and the New Orleans Saints QB vowed to support the Black Lives Matter movement going forward. "I recognize that I should do less talking and more listening..." Brees said,"and when the black community is talking about their pain, we all need to listen. For that, I am very sorry and I ask your forgiveness."
