A celebratory AI-generated video shared by Donald Trump has ignited widespread online discussion following Team USA’s dramatic gold medal victory in men’s hockey at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The clip, created using Grok, playfully inserts Trump into game highlights, portraying him as an on-ice competitor delivering checks to Canadian players and even scoring a decisive goal. The lighthearted montage quickly gained traction across social platforms, adding a political twist to the post-game excitement.
The video surfaced as fans and commentators continued praising U.S. goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, widely credited as a key figure in the championship performance against Canada. While the post carried a humorous tone, its timing amplified engagement amid heightened national pride surrounding the upset win.
Observers also noted the video’s indirect callback to past remarks from Justin Trudeau, who previously declared, “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game,” after an earlier international hockey showdown linked to the National Hockey League. That tournament, known as the Nations Face-Off, had ended in Canada’s favor.
Beyond the viral video, Trump publicly acknowledged the Olympic victory with a congratulatory statement posted online: “Congratulations to our great U.S.A. Ice Hockey team. THEY WON THE GOLD. WOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”
Meanwhile, celebrations from the newly crowned champions reportedly continued well after the final whistle. Among those seen joining the festivities was Kash Patel, underscoring the high-profile attention surrounding the win.
