Freestyle skier Hunter Hess just proved why so many Americans are fed up with entitled athletes who bite the hand that feeds them. The Olympic competitor, who gets the privilege of representing the United States on the world stage, decided to use that platform to trash America over President Trump's efforts to secure our border and deport illegal aliens.
Speaking to international media, Hess whined that it was "a little hard" to be the face of America because of Trump's aggressive deportation operations and immigration enforcement. Instead of showing pride in representing the greatest nation on Earth, this ungrateful athlete chose to virtue signal to the global elite.
President Trump wasted no time delivering some much-needed reality to the complaining skier. The President made it crystal clear that if Hess finds it so "hard" to represent America, perhaps he should consider skiing for another country that better aligns with his woke sensibilities.
Actions Have Consequences
Here's what Hess apparently doesn't understand: Trump isn't implementing some radical agenda – he's fulfilling his promise to the American people who elected him by an overwhelming mandate. The mass deportation operations are removing criminals and illegal aliens who have violated our sovereignty, exactly as Trump campaigned on.
"If representing America is so difficult for you, Mr. Hess, I'm sure there are plenty of other countries that would love to have a mediocre skier who hates immigration enforcement," a senior White House official told reporters.
This is exactly the kind of America Last mentality that patriots are sick of seeing from our supposed representatives abroad. While hardworking Americans are dealing with the consequences of Biden's border disaster – from fentanyl deaths to overwhelmed communities – this privileged athlete is more concerned with his international image than supporting his own country's efforts to restore law and order.
The contrast couldn't be starker: Trump is delivering on his promises to secure America's borders and restore our sovereignty, while entitled elites like Hess are embarrassed by actual leadership that puts America First. Perhaps it's time for athletes who are ashamed of their country to find a new flag to compete under.
