From Breitbart: President Donald Trump had a few choice words for U.S. Olympic skier Hunter Hess, who said it was hard for him to represent his country amid U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
During a press conference on Friday, freestyle skiers for Team USA at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, tried to distance themselves from the lawful federal immigration operations that have been clearing illegal alien criminals out of American communities, per Breitbart News:
Hess also expressed that it was “a little hard” for him to “wear Team USA gear” as there was “a lot going on that” he isn’t “the biggest fan of.”
“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.,” Hess added.

Hess has been torched on social media for his shocking comments.
President Trump blasted Hess in a Truth Social post Sunday morning.
“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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote.
