MAGA will never understand what makes the Olympics great

After a Winter Olympic Games of athletes celebrating each other as much as they did winning, the response from the Trump administration is equal parts disheartening and gross.

These are people who are functionally incapable of seeing the Olympics as anything but an opportunity to display their xenophobic loathing of other countries and to celebrate victory as a sort of violent domination.

In short, the Trump team simply didn’t understand anything about these Olympics.

Perhaps the highest-profile example of this was the diminutive FBI Director Kash Patel partying with the U.S. men’s hockey team on your dime.
Or maybe it’s that, after the men’s hockey team beat Canada for the gold, the official White House X account posted a picture—which we can all safely assume is AI slop—of a bald eagle attacking a Canadian goose on a frozen lake. Beating Canada in a hockey game apparently means we have subjugated the entire country? Terrific.

Or perhaps it’s the AI slop video of President Donald Trump—the biggest, most pathetic starfucker there ever was—inserting himself into the game so he could punch a Canadian hockey player.

This behavior would be disgusting at any time, but it’s especially jarring after an Olympics where the athletes themselves made conscious decisions to show care for each other—including their rivals.

The issue is your Trumpist view of winning and losing.

And that’s not in the spirit of the Olympics. Besides, you’re an Aussie, right? Why do you care what the US does in Olympic hockey?

Do they even play hockey in the land dan unda?

... The principles of the Olympics is to WIN medals, mate.

See? ... The USA, where I live now - WON the ice hockey GOLD. ..

So, it's America First! ... Canada was second... No problem there.

How is this thread even reality? Americans celebrating Americans is a problem according to OP and DialyKos. Rooting for your country used to be a given, now it’s a problem somehow. Bunch of fucking whiners, keeping the tissue industry in business after Hughes netted the winning goal while normal people celebrated.
