Anti-Trump Hysteria Contributes to U.S. Losses at Olympics

Some people have observed that President Obama’s Olympic teams won more medals than President Trump’s. They actually have it backwards. The blind misinformed hatred of Trump has proven to be a distraction, interfering with the ability of many members of the 2018 Olympic Team to concentrate properly. Adam Rippon has become the darling of the press of the left, when he should really be ignored or condemned rather than lionized, for his Michelle Obama style comment. Rippon ripped into Vice President Trump by saying the views of both of them have nothing in common. It is true that they may differ on homosexuality, with Pence siding with the Biblical position, but surely nobody can doubt that the Vice-President is generally committed to democracy and patriotism, and the hundreds of laws and regulations they have spawned. Adam Rippon’s sin is far worse than the original Adam’s sin in that by Rippon’s saying he has no views in common with the Vice-President, he is not seeking knowledge but is repudiating all the principles of democracy and patriotism, from respect for the flag to respect for the office holders sworn to uphold what the flag stands for. Rippon was subjectively described as performing feats no other Olympian had performed, yet he only won a single medal, and a bronze one at that.
