Donald Trump: Colin Kaepernick, other protesters in NFL, should leave the country

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who appeared on "FOX & Friends" Monday morning, said the NFL players protesting during the national anthem should move out of the country.

"Well, I think it's a lack of respect for our country," Trump said. "I think it's a lack of appreciation for our country, and it's a very sad thing. I've never seen anything quite like it, actually. You know, you are talking about a major sport, maybe the major sport, and when you see that and it leads to a lot of other things. I think it's a great lack of respect and appreciation for our country and I really said they should try another country, see if they like it better.
