To Trump, everything—relationships, war, politics, and foreign trade, to name a few–is a zero-sum game with a clear winner and a loser. That’s why he loves sports so much.
You can expect him to take credit for all of the medals that Americans win in South Korea, and to criticize anyone who looks like a “loser.” One hopes the athletes will keep a safe distance from him, but that won’t be easy for them, with conservative trolls lurking ominously on social media at home.
He’s just lucky that these are the Winter Olympics, because it would be easy to imagine a replay of what happened on the podium in 1968 in Mexico City if the athletes were largely minorities.
