The topic started when Lindsey discussed her Olympic plans during an interview with CNN’s Christina MacFarlane. There Vonn also said, “I want to represent our country well. I don’t think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that. Absolutely not. But I have to win to be invited. No, actually, I think every US team member is invited, so no, I won’t go.” 

In addition, Lindsey once stated, “Well, I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the President.” Some people also compared her with Colin Kaepernick, who took the stand against Trump during a match.
