Trump Targets Olympian: A New Team Trump Feud Begins
President Trump has publicly criticized Olympic skier Hunter Hess, calling him “a real loser” after Hess expressed “mixed emotions” about representing the United States due to current events. Trump stated that if Hess doesn’t fully support the country, he should not have tried out for the team and that it is difficult to root for such an athlete. This criticism aligns with a broader backlash from Trump’s base against athletes speaking about political issues, with other conservative figures also voicing their disapproval and suggesting Hess should consider competing for another country. Similar sentiments have been directed towards figure skater Amber Glenn for her political stances.
