An American Olympian has SPIT on the flag and BETRAYED his nation on the world’s biggest stage. Team USA skier Hunter Hess has ignited a FIRESTORM of outrage by declaring he does NOT represent the United States at the Winter Games, sparking a SCATHING and unprecedented public denunciation from President Donald Trump himself.
In a blistering social media post, the former Commander-in-chief branded the ungrateful athlete a “real Loser,” questioning why Hess even tried out for the Team and declaring him impossible to root for. This is NOT just sports—it’s a chilling symptom of a DEEPER SICKNESS infecting American pride.

The shocking dissent comes amidst a national crisis, with Hess citing “a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of”—a clear and COWARDLY reference to necessary border enforcement actions that have tragically claimed lives. This athlete would rather side with ILLEGAL aliens than the country that gave him EVERYTHING.
Even “Miracle on Ice” HERO Mike Eruzione initially blasted Hess, demanding to know why he ever put on the sacred uniform, before mysteriously DELETING his condemnation. Was he SILENCED by the woke mob?
Hess’s treacherous words reveal a DANGEROUS new frontier: “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything.” This is the LOGIC of a SPLINTERING America, where radical individualism justifies the ultimate betrayal. He is not representing Team USA; he is representing its ENEMIES from within, using the Olympic platform to STAB his homeland in the back.
US COULD BE ‘GLOBAL VILLAIN’ OF WINTER OLYMPICS, CNN HOST AND SPORTS WRITER SUGGEST

As this so-called athlete prepares to compete, a haunting question hangs over the Games: if our own Olympians renounce the flag, what soul does America have left to sell? The podium is now a pulpit for PURE TREASON.
