Lol what a stupid PR stunt
Did we ever represent presidents at the Olympics? Did we have athletes who had Obama's face on their gear instead of the American flag?
Either way, who gives a shit.

Liberals never learn. I was a liberal when I was younger, now I have grown up and seen the world for what it is.

That literally makes fuck all sense. "Im going to do exactly what it is people in my profession in my country do, instead of doing what other people in other countries do outside my profession in nations that hold a gun to their athletes heads to represent their leaders instead of their people"
So in other words shes only at the games, to not represent Trump. I think. Otherwise she wouldnt be saying diddly shit. If im understanding this correctly.

'St Moritz, Switzerland (CNN) A number of US athletes have spoken out against Donald Trump during his presidency -- and skier Lindsey Vonn has become the latest to have her say. ', "Pyeongchang will be Vonn's first Games since Vancouver 2010, where her downhill triumph turned her into a global star and one of the world's best-paid winter athletes with a net worth, according to Forbes, of about $3 million.", "Vonn endured an underwhelming start to the new season, crashing out of last week's opening downhill event at Lake Louise."
