Looks like the US men's hockey team got asked to the SOU speech......
Donald Trump made a congratulatory call to the United States men’s hockey team after their dramatic win over Canada in the Olympic gold medal game on Sunday afternoon, praising what he called an “unbelievable” performance and inviting the players to Washington this week.
The US president addressed the team by FaceTime Audio speakerphone call shortly after their 2-1 overtime victory at the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, telling them they had delivered a moment the country would remember for decades.
“Unbelievable. You were all unbelievable. That team is pretty good you played,” Trump said in a locker-room video capturing the call shared overnight by the official White House rapid response account.
The US won their third Olympic men’s hockey title, and first since the Miracle on Ice team of 1980, behind Jack Hughes’ overtime winner and an extraordinary effort from goaltender Connor Hellebuyck, who stopped 41 of the 42 shots he faced including a series of acrobatic saves that kept the Americans’ hopes alive.
Trump told the players they were invited to attend Tuesday night’s State of the Union address at the US Capitol as guests of honor and suggested a White House celebration would follow.
“I’ll tell you what – I just told my people two minutes ago. I said, we’re giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night,” Trump said. “We could send a military plane or something. But if you would like to [attend], it’s the coolest night.
“The nice thing about being president is I can tell you, you don’t have to worry about the weather or landing. We don’t care if it’s snowing, or if it’s the worst blizzard, you’ll be sailing through that sucker just like you did on the ice today.
“We’ll do the White House the next day. We’ll just have some fun. We have medals for you guys.”

Every time DJT claims his administration is the greatest they would drink a shot of Jack Daniels Whiskey. Hopefully he won't say it so often that they will all get alcohol poisoning!
