   President Donald Trump said Sunday that it's “very hard to root for   
   someone” like “loser” Team USA freestyle skier Hunter Hess, who last week   
   told reporters that he has "mixed emotions" about representing the U.S. at   
   the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Italy.   
      
   “U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent   
   his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he   
   shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very   
   hard to root for someone like this,” Trump wrote on his social media   
   platform.   
      
   The White House had no immediate comment on the president's social media   
   post.   
      
   At a Team USA Freeski Team press conference before the opening ceremonies   
   in Italy Friday, Hess said that “it brings up mixed emotions to represent   
   the U.S. right now.”   
      
   “It’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the   
   biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said, in response   
   to a reporter's question to the team about "what it means to wear Team USA   
   and the American flag in the hopes of trying to bring some unity" to the   
   U.S. in the midst of ongoing domestic tensions.   
      
   "I think for me it's more I'm representing my friends and family back home   
   and the people that represented before me and all the things that I   
   believe are good about the U.S.," Hess continued. "If it aligns with my   
   moral values, I feel like I'm representing it. Just because I'm wearing   
   the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”   
      
   There have been protests in Italy surrounding the Games, some of them   
   spurred by unsubstantiated reports that the U.S. would send Immigration   
   and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to the Games to assist with security.   
   In response, Tilman J. Fertitta, U.S. Ambassador to Italy and San Marino,   
   said in a statement last week that personnel from Homeland Security   
   Investigations (HSI) – the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland   
   Security, which also oversees ICE – would be present at the Games in a   
   "strictly advisory and intelligence-based" role, "with no patrolling or   
   enforcement involvement."   
      
   "All security operations will remain the responsibility of Italian   
   authorities," the statement further said.   
      
   At the same press conference, Team USA freestyle skier Chris Lillis also   
   expressed mixed emotions in response to the same question.   
      
   "I feel heartbroken about what's happening in the United States," Lillis   
   said, in part. "I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting   
   everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens, as   
   well as anybody, with love and respect. I hope that when people look at   
   athletes competing in the Olympics, they realize that's the America that   
   we're trying to represent."   
      
      
   --   
   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
