President Trump has publicly criticized a US skier representing the country at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Italy. The president stated that it was “too bad” Hunter Hess, a member of the team, is on the team, and that he found it hard to support him due to his decision to distance himself from the Trump administration’s policies.
This rare public criticism from a sitting US president highlights concerns about how Trump’s policies are affecting young members of the Olympic team. The Olympics in Italy serve as a platform for the president’s policies to be scrutinized on an international stage, sparking questions about their impact worldwide.
