US President Donald Trump insulted US freestyler Hunter Hess following Hess' comments about the current situation in the United States.
"U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics," Trump claimed on his social media platform Truth Social on Sunday .
"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.
During the Olympic Games in Italy, there have already been several protests against Trump's policies, particularly regarding the at times aggressive raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency targeting migrants.
The British freestyler Gus Kenworthy posted a picture on Instagram shortly before the start of the Winter Games, showing the words "fuck ice" that he says he urinated into the snow.
The US freestyler Hess recently said it "brings up mixed emotions" to represent the US at the moment. "There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren’t. Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US."
