Lindsey Vonn answers Trump-supporting Twitter trolls at the 2018 Winter Olympics

When Vonn tweeted her disappointment, Trump supporters were more than happy to bash her There are no participation trophies at the Winter Olympics, only medals. Nobody knows that better than Lindsey Vonn, who finished off the podium in the super-G on Saturday in South Korea. After the race was over, Vonn took to Twitter to express her frustration for the outcome of the race.

In response to the tweet, Vonn's timeline was filled with thousands of responses. The skiing star -- who has been critical of Donald Trump -- found user after user mocking her for the finish, with many referencing "karma" for her poor finish. In December, Vonn said that she was hoping to ski "for the people ... not the president" at the Winter Olympics, a comment that drew the ire of quite a few supporters of the president. Apparently, that frustration hasn't dissipated.

I don’t watch the Olympics to hear these athletes whine about our country and president. Is it just the U.S. athletes who whine? I haven’t heard of athletes from other countries whine, though possibly this is because they media hasn’t reported it.

The Left’s rhetoric is not meant to convince it is made to break people, Vonn is broken. So she competes at a top level of sports where hundreths of a second matter and her mind is basically damaged from being broken by the left. The only ones who seem to get away with it are players in sports where everyone is nearly broken by the Left such as LeBron.

I like and use Bounty as they have the option of smaller pieces of paper towels. But that commercial should be just embarrassing for her. Stupid commercial.

How disappointing that nearly 300 Olympic athletes are overshadowed by having two homosexuals, a bitter anti-Trumper and diversity selection of athletes be the front and center of the USA team group's publicity.

Ratings stink because no one wants to turn in and have garbage thrown at them.

I was watching a US Bobsled team last night, where one of the guys was a black with some Muzzie-sounding name, and they were horrible, constantly brushing the sled against the sides and wound up in 24th place.

We are not sending our best to the Olympics.

How do we know that Lindsay Vonn really trained hard for 6 years. She is a liberal and liberals are Gold Medal Winners in lying.

Vonn knew that she would be a loser this year. So, she did what well known losers do, "Attacked our President, because they are losers and can't do anything else. This obscures the reality of what losers they have become.

I don’t know why coaches and families don’t stress to athletes to keep quiet about their politics.”

You’re assuming that coaches and families feel differently.

She didn’t answer; she whined.

And, as usual for any snowflake, she failed again to realize that, when you go political, there are always other points of view.
