On Monday, United States Olympic skier Hunter Hess appeared to respond to President Donald Trump’s remark that he is a “real loser” for expressing mixed feelings about representing the U.S. The 27-year-old freestyle skier caught the attention of the president for his comments in a press conference in Milan on Friday. “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now.

Thanks for not posting anywhere what his response was.
On Monday, Hess appeared to respond in a social media post, without mentioning Trump by name.
“I love my country,” Hess began, adding, “there is so much that is great about America.”
“[B]ut there are always things that could be better,” Hess went on. “One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is that we have the right and the freedom to point that out.”
He continued:
“The best part of the Olympics is that it brings people together, and when so many of us are divided we need that more than ever. I cannot wait to represent Team USA next week when I compete.”
Yes, thank you. But I’ve already read that as his initial comment.
What was his response to cheeto?
“LMFAO how bout we race around the Whitehouse fatass?”
Tell me how you didn’t get your lazy ass off the couch to vote asshole.
Either you’re a bot, or you’ve been suckered in by their propaganda.
Think about it … The first step was to divide right/left. Now that the left may be able to present an opposition, the new narrative is to divide the left.
You don’t know that guy. You don’t know how he voted. Just enjoy being on the same team and focus on what you’ll do NOW to make things better
Sorry for coming back a day later.
But you gotta stop using “must be a bot” as a gotcha.
Accept that a real life person might disagree with you.
No, that was my point … Even if you don’t intend it, you’re mimicking the cynical, defeatist attitude of disinformation campaigns. My hope was to encourage a more positive interaction style.
