President Trump expressed strong outrage after several U.S. Olympic athletes made critical remarks about the country during a global broadcast.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit’s Cassandra MacDonald, 27-year-old freestyle halfpipe competitor Hunter Hess said wearing the American flag “brings up mixed emotions” and is “a little hard” due to ICE actions against undocumented immigrants. Hess added that he isn’t the “biggest fan” of much happening in the U.S.
“Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S. I just kind of want to do it for my friends and family, the people who supported me getting here,” Hess explained.

His teammate, 27-year-old aerials specialist Chris Lillis, a 2022 Beijing Olympics gold medalist, also shared his concerns, saying he feels “heartbroken” over ICE raids and ongoing protests. Lillis emphasized the 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.”
The remarks came during a press conference on Friday, shortly after the Winter Games’ opening ceremony. President Trump reacted strongly on Truth Social, directing his criticism at Hess.
Calling Hess a “real loser,” Trump wrote, “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.”
