Trump Called USA Hockey Team To Congratulate Them, Then Made Disgusting Joke On Women's Team -- And It Was All Caught On

President Donald Trump is facing criticism on Monday after he joked with the Olympic podium-topping U.S. men’s ice hockey team about having to invite the gold medal-winning American women’s squad to the White House, as well.

In a congratulatory phone call with the U.S. men, who took gold at the Winter Olympics for the first time in 46 years, Trump suggested using military aircraft to fly the team out to his State of the Union address on Tuesday before sharing a “very cool” pitch for the team to visit the White House the following day.

“And we have to — I must tell you — we’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” said Trump, who went on to chuckle as the American men burst into laughter in a clip circulating on social media.

He added, “[If I don’t] do that, I do believe I probably would be impeached, OK?”
