Objecting to the Super Bowl show and criticising US athletes at the Winter Olympics. You know, I think Trump might be a little UnAmerican. Perhaps someone should investigate.

Trump called U.S. Olympic skier Hunter Hess a "loser" on social media today in response to his comments earlier this week that "it's a little hard" to represent the U.S. at the 2026 Winter Olympics given the current political division in the country.

Hess is awesome. Trump is a traitorous scumbag.

Trump calls Olympian Hunter Hess 'loser' over comments about representing US

President Donald Trump took to social media in response to U.S. Olympian Hunter Hess' comments that it's "hard" to represent the country right now.

Between Bad Bunny and the US figure skating gold medal win, today is a great reminder for everyone that we collectively define America (and America including both North & South America!), not Trump & Vance.

Kudos to Amber Glenn for speaking out against Trump. The response from Trump supporters, sadly, isn’t surprising.

Needless to say, Trump's post about the Olympic skier is both disgusting and quintessentially Trump. He's so vain, he thinks the Olympics are about him.

Tears pouring down my cheeks hearing the national anthem for our wonderful, diverse American figure skating team's gold medal after the past year-plus of hatred & vile actions by Trump & Vance. A team that represents America at its best, unlike Trump & Vance, who are America at its worst.

NBC censuring Olympics roundly booing Vance is meaningful because important for US to know that (1) rest of the world hates & mocks our leaders (2) Corporate Media is collaborating with Trump Regime.

The US just won Olympic Gold in the team figure skating competition! The team includes: an immigrant, a daughter of immigrants, a son of immigrants, & an LGBTQ woman. America at its finest countering the hatred, bigotry, and xenophobia of Donald Trump & JD Vance.
