Trump Calls USA Hockey Team, Invites Them to SOTU After Winning Gold

President Donald Trump called the U.S. men’s hockey team, and FBI Director Kash Patel joined them in the locker room to celebrate their win over Canada on Sunday.

About an hour after the team won their first Olympic gold medal since 1980, Coach Mike Sullivan announced that Trump spoke via FaceTime with the athletes.

“The players just had the President on, I don’t know what it was, what do you call it, FaceTime, whatever, in the locker room,” he said, according to USA Today. “He just spoke to the group, expressing how proud he was of the group and congratulating everybody on the win.”

Clinching the medal “was an inspiration to our country,” he continued. “I can’t tell you how many texts I’ve received over the last day or so about watch parties at 8 o’clock in the morning. I think from a viewership standpoint, the United States, there were a lot of people paying attention, the President included.”

In a video captured in the locker room, Patel is holding up his phone while Trump can be heard saying, “You were all unbelievable.”

Democrats are irate over Kash Patel's visit to the USA hockey team's lockerroom (where he had a beer with the joyous players) while he was in Italy for whatever official business he had there. I don't know what kind of official business the FBI director may have in Milan, but anyway ...

So the women's team declined an invite to the State of the Union because of "scheduling conflicts" and then agreed to go party with Flavor Flav. Flavor Flav is a serial woman abuser, who had domestic violence charges as recently in 2021.
They also partied with Snoop Dogg, convicted drug dealer and self-admitted human trafficker. In the early 2000s, Snoop Dogg used to provide women to high-end clients like football players and entertainers while traveling around on a Playboy tour.
By his own description, he sounds like a poor man's Epstein.
And these are the individuals the women choose to hang out with instead of attending the State of the Union.

These Babylon Bee pieces get funnier by the day.   

Best moment of the night with SOTU will be when the dims don't applaud the Men's Hockey Team...   The optics will be awful.

I believe it was a Jesse Watters viewer who noted the Dems refused to applaud a child fighting cancer, so not applauding the hockey players they perceive as patriotic wouldn't be a surprise.
