President Donald Trump mocked the U.S. Women’s hockey team during a congratulatory call to the men’s team after they won their first Olympic gold medal since 1980. During the call, which took place in the locker room following the men’s victory over Germany, Trump expressed that he would have to invite the women’s team to the White House or risk being impeached. He humorously explained that failing to do so could lead to political consequences, while also suggesting that the women’s team might not be welcome at the celebration. The situation unfolded during a raucous celebration involving FBI Director Kash Patel, who was present in Milan despite earlier claims he was on official business. Patel engaged in festivities with the men’s team, including chugging beers and trying on medals before patching in Trump for his message. The president offered to arrange transportation for the team to attend his State of the Union address and hinted at a White House celebration, but made it clear that the women’s team would likely be excluded from the festivities. The omission of the women’s team from the initial celebrations raises questions about gender equality
