A member of the winning U.S. Men’s Hockey Team let Donald Trump try on his Olympic gold medal during a visit to the Oval Office ahead of the State of the Union — and the president joked he was “not giving it back.”
On Tuesday afternoon, the Republican president hosted most of the members of the U.S. men’s hockey team at the White House after their historic gold-medal-winning game at the Winter Olympics in Italy over the weekend. The match against longtime rivals Team Canada, which ended in sudden-death overtime, marked the U.S. team’s first Olympic tourney victory since 1980’s “Miracle on Ice.”
