United States President Donald Trump has hit out at comments made by a U.S. Olympic skier who expressed mixed emotions about representing the United States at the ongoing Winter Olympics in Italy. Freestyle skier Hunter Hess was among member of Team USA who told a media briefing in Milan on Friday that just because he’s wearing the U.S. flag did not mean he was representing everything going on in his home country, a reference to the often violent actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents on the streets of the United States.
