LOS ANGELES (OC).–Booed at the Milan Winter Games, 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance said Olympic athletes crossing the line into domestic politics should expect pushback from the White House. “You’re not there to pop off about politics,” Vance said, responding to the U.S. press encouraging Olympic athletes to express their displeasure with the Trump administration.”So when Olympic athletes enter the political arena, the should expect some pushback, referring to half-pipe skier Hunter Hess. Hess said he had “mixed emotions” about representing the U.S. “right now,” not saying exactly what he’s unhappy about. “There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of,” Hess said. “Wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.”, hinting at his displeasure with ICE raids in Minneapolis and around the country.
President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance are routinely slammed in the press, with the fake news encouraging left wing activists to speak out about the administration. So, when athletes like Hess speakd out is largely encouraged by the fake news out to embarrass Trump and Vance anyway possible. Whatever difficulty the White House has implementing its deportation strategy, it’s no excuse for the press to encourage Olympic athletes to speak out on foreign soil against their own government. Trump’s not perfect but he’s juggling a lot of domestic and foreign policy issues, leaving him responsible for nation’s domestic and foreign policy. Trump has been consumed trying to end the Ukraine War, something resisted by Ukraine’s 48-year-old President Volodymyr Zelensky and the EU. EU officials have pushed to keep the war going.
When it comes to events like the Olympic Games, the White House should not have to push back with brazen athletes trying to make headlines, or, more likely, pushed to lash out at Trump by the fake news. How can U.S. journalism have any credibility when it’s so biased against Trump and Vance? So, when it comes to athletes speaking out against the U.S., it’s encouraged by the fake news pushing stories to embarrass Trump. Keeping the long-dcecased Jeffrey Eptein in the news shows how Democrats and the fake news use the publicity of the Olympic games to take shots at Trump and Vance. Calling Hess a “real loser” Trump responded to Hess’s criticism of the White House. “One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is is that we have the right and the freedom to point that out,” Hess said, trying to turn his criticism around.
Trump and Vance are right telling Olympic athletes to stick to their sports, not venture into politics. Trump and Vance would be better off not responding at all to athletes used by the Democrat Party and fake news as pawns to attack the White House. When the press is so negative toward the White House, it’s easy for athletes and celebrities to speak out about the White House. When it comes to athletes representing their country, Trump and Vance are right that Olympians should steer clear of politics. When comes to the press, there’s no restraint when it comes to Trump and Vance, especially with using the Epstein files to implicate Trump in a old sex scandal. Vance and his wife Usha were seen waving American flags at the Milano San Siro Olympic Stadium, certainly nothing controversial. Yet there are always some disgruntled fans ready to boo the Trump White House.
Democrats and the fake news have done everything possible to embarrass Trump and Vance, all because they seek to flip the House in the 2026 Midterm elections. Everything reported in the news about making Trump look as bad as possible before the Midterm elections. Democrats hope to flip the House, maybe the Senate, to start impeachment proceedings against Trump for a variety of bogus reasons. Trump had former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has his nemesis in 2019, impeaching him twice for purely political reasons. If future House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gets in, he’ll be out for revenge like most the Democrats. As things go now, it looks like Democrats have a good shot of taking over the House, spelling doom for Trump’s last two years in office. Fake news spurs on Olympians to speak out against Trump.
Whoever booed at the Milano Winter Game, there were a handful of people working for Democrats and the faake news. Vance put it in perspective saying he an his wife had a great time at the Olympics. “I think the medi made much ado about nothing with the fact that, yes, in a crow of 30,000 people, there were certainly some people who disagreed with my policies or the policies of the administration,” Vance said. Vance minimizes the role the fake news plays in American politics. He has the worst press coverage in U.S. history, with the fake news pushing the Democrat agenda. Vance, who looks like the GOP front-runner in 2028, has nearly as bad relations with the fake news ast Trump. Vance can only hope Trump can continue spurring on the economy and ending unpopular foreign wars. Staying in power involves doing the same thing Trump did to Kamala in 2024.
