(CNN) Donald Trump may be the American President, but he doesn't understand the importance of American values -- particularly freedom of expression, pluralism and tolerance. What Trump doesn't get is that Kaepernick wasn't taking a knee because he was trying to disrespect our nation. But Trump's rejection of American values was on display long before this weekend. Many would agree that Trump doesn't get what it means to be President -- his low approval ratings support this idea. But I say Trump doesn't get American values, and I doubt he ever will.
