1. I can only think of the Trump photo where he's holding his meaningless participation trophy in high school.

Now that is a loser.

[ShazzieB]

28. I don't think I've seen that one, at least not that I recall.

From a high school participation trophy to the FIFA peace prize - how far you have come, Donald!

[LoisB]

2. Doesn't he have anything important to do? My word, if his skin gets any thinner,

he will be a translucent orange.

[Ritabert]

5. We don't call him Trumpelthinskin for nothing.

[Klondike Kat]

45. Can you imagine him looking like this?

Ewww!

[LoisB]

52. LOL. The frog looks much better than IT would.

[Trueblue1968]

54. DonOLD Rump is Sooooooooooo hated ..... He is The Anti Christ

[Seinan Sensei]

59. And Christ is anti-Trump

[Lovie777]

3. The hatred for shithole just went up a notch....

[flvegan]

4. Trump thinks the Olympics are shots you get for obesity. n/t

[leftstreet]

10. LOL

That is so dumb why am I laughing

[Traildogbob]

15. 😂Me Too!

[PatSeg]

11. Ha, ha, ha!

Perfect!

[William Seger]

41. "The fat drug... doesn't work on my friend."

[mwmisses4289]

6. Ever notice how whenever any one mentions any kind of truth

about t he immediately calls them losers, no talent, etc., etc? Says a lot about what a mean, jealous person he is.
Will not be surprised if Mr. Hess is suddenly booted off the team for...reasons...that will conviently "just" be discovered.

[Hey Joe]

22. Trump hates the truth with a white hot passion.

His entire life has been a war against truth.
He realized at a young age that truth can be malleable and it’s easier to just keep lying to get what he wants.

[Johonny]

7. You have to be a truely awful person

To not be embarrassed about Trump being president. When you meet a Trump supporter, you know how true that is.

[NJCher]

37. you don't even have to meet them

Just look at them in a picture.

[Cha]

8. Ha... a Badge of Honor for Hunter Hess...

[LoisB]

12. Yes.

[usaf-vet]

36. He just won a gold medal in my book. Thank YOU!

[DinahMoeHum]

42. Here's another one: Svea Irving, freestyle skier

U.S. Olympian Svea Irving: "It's definetly a tough time in our country right now. I just continue to represent my values which is compassion and respect and love for others."

[Ping Tung]

9. One of the founders agrees with Hunter Hess

[democrank]

16. Well-stated, Mr.Thomas Paine.

Imagine the sacrifices required to be on the Trump team: values, dignity, integrity, humanity…..on and on and on.

[calimary]

62. GREAT quote!

Gotta use this for one of the weekly scripts that my Indivisible group issues to guide our members on the issues. Every week we send out an updated list of topics and new bills in the state or in Congress that they might want to call our reps about. Each week’s issue starts with a quote.

[Botany]

13. Hunter Hess is what a real man and a good American looks, acts, and speaks like.

Donald Trump is vile scum who rapes little girls, is owned by Vlad Putin, and has destroyed over
1/3 of the White House.

[Justice matters.]

33. And killed hundreds of thousands, including at least two in the streets.

So tired of his "winning" and of the CINOs* who still support that pedora(c,p)ist (*Christians-In-Name-Only)

[kimbutgar]

14. Very handsome and articulate

This old lady thinks the 🍊💩🐖is jealous of his looks also!

[Maru Kitteh]

32. I'll have the dark one to his left.

. . .

[IronLionZion]

17. Right because real losers get to compete in the Olympics

Winners get a FIFA peace prize.

[Botany]

51. We had a local girl go to the 2012 Olympics in the 10 meter platform diving competition I talked

to one of the mangers @ the pool and he told me that just making the U.S. team was an
honor because only 2 people can make the team. Mr. Hess is what Trump could never be
and that is being legitimately tall, athletic, good looking, and smart.

[raccoon]

18. Hess is so good-lucking in that video! And Great comments. DJT is undoubtedly jealous as hell.

[AllyCat]

19. If Hess wins a medal, all he has

To do is bequeath it to Cheeto when he gets back. That will put him back in good graces. 🙄

I really don’t care what Cheeto says.

Hess speaks for me.

[AverageOldGuy]

20. Some questions:

Will Trump invite US Olympians who won medals to come to the White House for a meal of Big Macs and fries?

How many will accept?

How many will tell him to fuck off?

[DinahMoeHum]

44. AFAIC, NO self-respecting Olympic athlete. . .

. . .should go anywhere near the White House for the time being, unless they're walking around it with a picket sign.

[Grim Chieftain]

21. Every day I think I can't loathe him any more

and yet, here he is giving me another reason. He is the most despicable "person" to ever walk the earth. Hunter Hess has more honor, dignity and ethics in a nanosecond than the orange pedophile has had in his entire pathetic lifetime.

[tavernier]

23. I would bet that they all, or most, feel that way.

[Rhiannon12866]

61. Which is very sad, for the first time in Olympic history, athletes are embarrassed to be representing this country

Only because of the world reputation of the felon-in-chief.

[twodogsbarking]

24. Thank you Hunter Hess. Thanks for posting too.

[twodogsbarking]

25. Trumpo misquoted him but won't apologize.

[spanone]

26. If America has a true loser, it's don trmp.

FUCK YOU TRMP

[Coolgoober]

27. Trump Misrepresented

What Hunter Hess said.

[Goonch]

29. ;-{)

[CaptainTruth]

30. Yes, make America great again, vote out Republicans!!!

I find it very hard to root for someone like Trump.

[LSparkle]

31. I'm going to root for him -- will check for his races

Hope he ends up on the Wheaties box! (I may be dating myself with that reference/honor.)

[Prairie Gates]

34. Desperate for a culture war diversion as his polls number plummet

As in all downward spirals, the only way out of it is actually accelerating it now...

[Nanjeanne]

35. Well now I have someone to root for. Thanks Donny.

[Pas-de-Calais]

38. HE KNOWS who the REAL LOSER IS

Projecting once again

[BidenRocks]

39. Dear Summer Olympians,

Please drop a line of support and a threat of boycott in '28 if chump says one more demeaning word.

These athletes are competing to make America look better than the hell hole chump has made us.

I will not accept him getting a second of shine for others hard work.

If our Bill of Rights and Constitution bother him so much, it's he that should be leaving.

If there is anyone who doesn't represent America, it's chump!

[colorado_ufo]

40. Trump is a liar, as always.

He is misquoting this athlete.

[sop]

43. I'm surprised Trump didn't mention a missing laptop when he saw Hunter's name.

[Sneederbunk]

46. TSF to be awarded Olympic medal for Downhill.

Not skiing, just downhill.

[Arazi]

47. Trump is lucky Hess was so diplomatic

I’m waiting for the first American medal winner to say “God Bless the USA and fuck Trump” 😈

[Figarosmom]

48. I think most of them

Probably think that way.

[twodogsbarking]

49. I'm really liking this Olympics.

[mdbl]

50. Hitler and Jesse Owens comes to mind when I read this

Jesse blew apart Hitler's aryan supremacy shit.

[mtairyguy]

53. Trump wants an Olympic medal!

He will assert that there should be a category for political games and that he should win a gold!

[mdbl]

55. Is there a gold medal for the biggest Asshole?

If so, he has it hands down.

[Blue Owl]

56. Donald tRump is the AMERICAN PSYCHO

Along with being a racist, rapist, pedophile, criminal, human trafficker, Nazi, and general failure as a businessman and human being

[purr-rat beauty]

57. I can hear it now

Leavitt - "Why are you so upset over a wayward staffer trying to meme up the place?"

Trump - "Fuck yeah I said it! What are going to do about it piggy?"

[liberalla]

58. I saw this yesterday, and there was another American (USA) athlete that spoke out also ...

I knew we'd be hearing from the asshole!

But Honestly, when this pResident disses anyone, my esteem for that person rises simultaneously. It's like awarding them a medal for humanity. For being decent. That's pretty good IMO.

[RVN VET71]

60. It's not America he's putting down, Mr. "president"

IT'S YOU.

[0rganism]

63. I have no doubt Hess' net popularity gain from this exchange will greatly exceed F47's

Solid W for Hess here, rest of the team with him scores too. If Hess medals in the half pipe, F47's gonna look even stupider. The way this has gone lately, we really could see sub-30 polling by March. I hope Mr. Hess has no difficulty returning afterward; F47 has proven petty enough to exact personal revenge for his own shortcomings on far lesser matters, which gives me some concern.

Personally, I'm looking forward to watching the freestyle skiing competitions this week, though I'm unlikely to catch them live.
