Olympic Skier Hunter Hess Responds After Donald Trump Calls Him A ‘Real Loser’: ‘I Love My Country’

Hunter Hess is responding to criticism from Donald Trump, one day after the president lashed out at the Olympic freestyle skier, calling him a “real loser” on Truth Social. In the caption of his Feb. 9 Instagram post, Hunter wrote, “I love my country. There is so much that is great about America, but there are always things that could be better. One of the many things that makes this country so amazing is that we have the right and the freedom to point that out. The best part of the Olympics is that is brings people together, and when so many of us are divided we need that more than ever.” Hunter concluded by expressing his excitement to represent Team USA when he competes next week in the men’s freeski halfpipe.
