Trump and White House troll Canada after U.S. wins gold in Olympic hockey

The White House and Trump posted provocative AI and symbolic images after Team USA's first men's Olympic hockey gold since 1980, highlighting U.S.-Canada tensions.

  • At 4:40 a.m. Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump posted an AI video on Truth Social showing him as a Team USA men's ice hockey player punching a Canadian opponent after their 2-1 gold medal win Sunday at the Milano Cortina Games.
  • Responding to a tweet by Justin Trudeau, the White House doubled down as Trump’s second response referenced Trudeau’s 2025 message and past taunts after Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off last year.
  • Before the AI clip, the White House posted an image of an American bald eagle pinning a Canada goose, while the video shows Trump scoring, body-checking, punching, then sitting in the penalty box.
  • The White House post continues to circulate alongside Trudeau's 2025 message, with Sullivan saying Trump called the locker room to congratulate players and express pride after the win.
  • Rising trade and rhetoric tensions could complicate bilateral ties as tariffs and rhetoric during the first year of Trump's second term have prompted Canadians to boycott American goods and travel, while Hughes' overtime winner 1 minute and 41 seconds in drew widespread attention.
