Trump Calls Olympic Skier 'Loser' Because Patriotism Needs a Filter

KEY POINTS

•Olympic skier Hunter Hess expressed 'mixed emotions' about representing the U.S. at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, highlighting his concerns with the country's state.
•President Trump responded harshly on Truth Social, calling Hess 'a real loser' and saying he shouldn’t have made Team USA, keeping up his history of athlete clashes.
•Other athletes like Gus Kenworthy, Jessie Diggins, and Amber Glenn have also voiced dissent, pushing back against the administration’s politics while competing internationally.

In a dazzling display of Olympic-level shade, President Trump labeled Portland halfpipe bronze medalist Hunter Hess 'a real loser' this Sunday after Hess dared to admit wearing the U.S. flag at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics brought 'mixed emotions.' Hess, trying to represent the good parts of America (friends, family, and less chaos), got a Truth Social beatdown from Trump, who declared Hess shouldn’t have even made the team. Meanwhile, previous Team USA dissidents like expat skier Gus Kenworthy, who urinated 'f--k ICE' in snow, and Minnesota’s Jessie Diggins, advocating for decency over hate, kept the protest torch burning. Oh, and Amber Glenn refuses to ‘stick to sports’ despite being told to shut up about LGBTQ+ struggles. Considering Trump previously “rooted” against the U.S. women's soccer team and dubbed female boxers men during the 2024 Games, his Gold Medal for Grudge Holding is secure.

Trump’s Olympic cheer squad apparently requires endorsing a presidency, or else you’re public enemy number one. Who knew patriotism came with approval ratings?

It turns out the Olympic motto is now 'Citius, Altius, Negatius'—because nothing screams national pride like incessant Twitter insults from your former president.
