Trump fans are totally trashing Lindsey Vonn because she said she wanted to represent the American people and not Trump. Then she failed to medal in her event, and now they’re ripping her to shreds on Twitter.
Here’s a selection:

However, this Lindsey Vonn Skank is an exception. Ski, don’t Spew. #RedWaveRising2018 #maga #tcot pic.twitter.com/5QzYXo9joy

https://twitter.com/jasondiclement4/status/964774458916507648Skier Lindsey Vonn says shell "represent our country, but not Trump" at Olympics What an unintelligent remark. Lindsey, Donald Trump is our President . Get over it. Can't help that you don't like him, but obviously you didn't get the message of the election .#MAGA.

Lindsey Vonn said she was going to boycott the White House visit.

Lindsey Vonn screwed up her ski run.
Trump doesn’t want losers visiting the White House.
Lindsey Vonn isn’t invited therefore she can’t boycott the White House.
Lindsey Vonn,

In explaining your errors, you omitted your biggest one: your politics.
You abhorred Trump but couldn't articulate why.
That turned millions of ppl against you.
Americans don't like haters.
She seemed unfazed by her less than optimal performance:
Frustrating to be so close to the podium and to have made such a big mistake...but that’s ski racing. I’m proud of the way I skied and how I attacked the course. I gave it my all and came up short. That’s life. Now it’s on to the Downhill! 💪🏻

And she responded to her Twitter trolls:
I just spent last 20 min's reading thru tweets directed at @lindseyvonn. Sickened & disgusted once again by the lack of humanity that engulfs our country. She just raced her damn heart out & Trump supporters gloat/cheer/celebrate her inability to medal. Is this what we've become?

It’s ok Julie. Not everyone has to like me but my family loves me and I sleep well at night. I work hard and try to be the best person I can be. If they don’t like me 🤷🏼♀️ their loss I guess... Thank you for the support🙏🏻❤️ https://t.co/EaySJE7QAe

The vitriol is just weird to me. I wish people could just let things go instead of whining about everything, but I guess that’s the age we live in.
