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.

Why respond to what a human trafficking pedofile has to say
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?
your getting downvoted but the title clearly is clickbait suggesting it has some sort of comment from hess about what trump said about him. so I get it at least.
Yeah the hive mind does this on occasions. I try not to get too upset at the imaginary numbers.
Its kinda handy really a bunch of downvotes are noticable and kinda highlights comments and I tend to give those a double check preciesly because of this kind of thing.
Same. Also why I don’t delete my heavily ratio’d comments. I stand on business.
The comment says it is his response to Trumps comment.
The article also has his original comment if you’re wondering what that was.
My sibling in baphomet. Did you read the second sentence of that article?
Eh? Are we reading the same things? I can’t see why you think the comment called directly out as a response is the initial comment, which is also called out directly in the article.
Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on here.
The quote they posted is the initial comment that got trump to insult him.
It is NOT his response.
The correct response any respectable self-respecting president would have made to the athlete’s comments: “The man is American. In America we say what we want, that’s what makes America great. He doesn’t agree with me. That’s okay too, disagreement is an American tradition. I have my job and he has his- and I wish him the best of luck in doing his. Make us proud Hunter!”
But no, we have “he’s a loser.” Yes Dumbald, the Olympian is a loser. Whatever you say…
Yeah… You, an Internet rando sound immensely more presidential than our actual president. This is why he had mixed feelings, the situation is legitimately embarrassing and shameful.
Beating mouldy bins with a hammer sounds more presidential than that fuck.
It’s sad that our altheletes are better at speaking about politics than our president.
Yeah, I was just coming to say his response shows way more tact and diplomacy than I could possibly muster in his shoes, and certainly more than Trump deserves.
Our athletes are better at speaking about politics than the so called “opposition” party
America’s response to Donvict should be:
Quiet, piggy!
While he doesn’t have a FIFA peace prize to his name, I feel Hess’s medals and awards are decent evidence that he’s not a loser.
I’d like to see the orange jackass ski jump.
Hell, I’d like to see him pay his own fucking way to the Olympics. The athletes did.
(The US does not subsidize its Olympic teams or athletes in general, they have to raise their own money or get some partial amount from a big donation.)
I think most people would be fine with any kind of jump from significant height.
Headline: Olympic Skier Hunter Hess…
My brain: Hess, Hunter of Olympic Skiers
The most dangerous game.
See and I just thought Hess had to hunt while on skis
