Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The USA hockey team’s entrance was a visual, patriotic moment that landed well with voters. The team’s gold medals and USA sweatshirts were a familiar sight. The “U-S-A” chants were a predictable response. Trump’s introduction of the team was a scripted moment. The announcement of Connor Hellebuyck’s Presidential Medal of Freedom was a planned honor.
It’s not surprising that this moment was widely noticed.
