President Donald Trump<\/a> couldn\u2019t let the Americans\u2019 hockey victory over Canada<\/a> at the Winter Olympics<\/a> skate by without somehow horning in on the glory.<\/p>\n

Early Monday, the president posted AI slop of him about to score a goal; shoving Canadian defenders to the ice; and punching one of them before sitting smugly in the penalty box. He then emerges to notch what appears to be the winning goal as U.S. teammates hug him.<\/p>\n

He also shared a post with the footage from fawning disciple Kari Lake, who hailed him as \u201cTrump, The ENFORCER!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

\"DonaldDonald Trump virtually showered himself in glory for the U.S. hockey victory over Canada.<\/p>\n

Trump appeared to follow the lead of his White House, which earlier trolled its northern neighbor<\/a> and the former prime minister, Justin Trudeau. \u201cYou can\u2019t take our country \u2014 and you can\u2019t take our game,\u201d Trudeau declared after Canada defeated the U.S. in the Four Nations Face-Off last year. That tournament took place as Trump saber-rattled with tariffs and talk of taking over Canada to be the 51st state.<\/p>\n

The White House attached Trudeau\u2019s words to an image of a bald eagle digging its claws into presumably a Canadian goose.<\/p>\n

After the Olympic gold medal final was decided in overtime on Sunday, the president issued several Truth Social<\/a> posts congratulating the U.S. hockey team and the U.S. squad as a whole for its medal haul.<\/p>\n

But earlier in the Games, he had called freestyle skier Hunter Hess a \u201closer\u201d<\/a> for expressing conflicted feelings about representing the United States. Vice President JD Vance and other conservatives joined in the chorus against U.S. team members speaking<\/a> out on political issues.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"President Donald Trump couldn\u2019t let the Americans\u2019 hockey victory over Canada at the Winter Olympics skate by without…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":494680,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49,48,1376,5239,4963,82,74436],"class_list":["post-494679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-donald-trump","tag-hockey","tag-olympics","tag-sports","tag-winter-olympics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=494679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/494679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/494680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=494679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=494679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=494679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
