Team USA recently celebrated its gold medal triumph in ice hockey at the Winter Olympics 2026, held in Italy, with a unique gathering at the White House, courtesy of President Donald Trump. The event featured a distinctive feast of double-stacked cheeseburgers, marking a festive occasion for the athletes. A video clip of the celebration was shared by conservative influencer Nick Sortor on his official X account, portraying a scene reflective of Trump’s style of celebration.

Atmosphere of Festivity

The video showcases athletes in Team USA apparel, seated at a large wooden dining table within the White House. As the footage progresses, servers are seen presenting plates of double cheeseburgers to the athletes. The celebratory mood was enhanced with the song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” by Toby Keith playing in the background, further adding to the joyful ambiance.

Acknowledgment of Athletic Achievement

The gathering served to honor Team USA for their impressive performance at the Winter Olympics. The gold medal was achieved after the men’s national ice hockey team persevered through a series of high-pressure knockout rounds, marked by disciplined defensive strategies, strong goaltending, and critical scoring moments. While Sortor’s post implied the event was a recognition of their Olympic achievement, it did not specify the particular sport.

Menu Details and Social Media Reactions

Although the clip prominently featured stacks of cheeseburgers being served, the identification of the food originating from McDonald’s was inferred from Sortor’s commentary on the event rather than being officially confirmed within the video itself. In the comments section of Sortor’s post, social media users expressed a variety of reactions, ranging from amusement to laughter, with some reflecting on the unconventional menu choice. One comment noted the quintessentially Trumpian nature of the gathering, illustrating the light-hearted spirit shared by the winning team.

Ongoing Tradition of Casual Celebrations

Comments highlighted the enjoyment witnessed among the athletes, emphasizing their celebratory demeanor after securing the gold medal. Users reminisced about previous occasions during Trump’s presidency when fast food was served at the White House for other championship celebratory events. Notably, in 2019, Trump had welcomed the Clemson Tigers, victors of the national college football championship, with an extravagant spread that included over 300 burgers, fries, and pizzas from McDonald’s. Many commenters characterized the informal offerings as relatable and distinctly American, reinforcing a sense of connection through shared experiences in sports and celebration.
