When you're representing the United States of America on the world's biggest stage, you'd think showing a little gratitude and patriotism would come naturally. Not for freestyle skier Hunter Hess, who decided the 2026 Olympics was the perfect time to trash the country that gave him the opportunity of a lifetime.
Hess publicly complained that it was "a little hard" to represent America because of President Trump's efforts to clean up the illegal immigration disaster left behind by Joe Biden's catastrophic open-border policies. Instead of focusing on his sport and honoring his country, this ungrateful athlete chose to virtue signal to the woke mob.
President Trump, never one to let America-bashing go unanswered, delivered a reality check that cut straight to the heart of the matter. The President reminded Hess and anyone else listening that securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws isn't something to be ashamed of—it's exactly what the American people elected him to do.
"When you're blessed to wear the red, white, and blue, you represent all Americans—not your personal political grievances," Trump stated, according to sources close to the administration.
This is what happens when athletes get too comfortable in their bubble of leftist groupthink. Hess apparently missed the memo that Trump won a decisive victory specifically because Americans are fed up with the Biden regime's immigration chaos that flooded our communities with illegal aliens, drained our resources, and compromised our national security.
While Trump works around the clock to restore order and safety to American communities, entitled elites like Hess whine about having to actually represent the country that made their dreams possible. It's the height of ingratitude and shows just how out of touch these athletes have become.
Here's a reality check for Mr. Hess: millions of Americans are cheering Trump's immigration crackdown because they're tired of watching their tax dollars fund services for people who broke our laws to get here. Maybe spend less time complaining and more time appreciating the privilege of wearing Team USA across your chest.
How many more ungrateful athletes will learn this lesson the hard way before they realize Americans expect better from their representatives?
