White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - In-town pool report #10 - POTUS speech
President Trump took to speaking about gender in sports, saying "we've done a lot to help save women's sports, and we're also saving college sports."
"We're doing everything we can to protect the cherished sporting traditions that have long been part of our nation from the beginning, right from the beginning."
POTUS noted: "We had a bad judge's decision, and a judge that knew nothing about sports declared sports unconstitutional. Can you believe it?"
Earlier, POTUS shouted out figure skater Danny O'Shea, speedskater Jordan Stolz, Mogul skier Elizabeth Lemley.
POTUS also shouted out the US men's hockey team that won gold, who were absent from the event. Two athletes with the US women's hockey team that won gold were shouted out: Abbey Murphy and Joy Dunne. POTUS then touted the success of Paralympians, listing a handful of names in succession.
