Amber Glenn, the bold Team USA figure skater dazzling on the Olympic ice, just dropped a bombshell to reporters: life has been a hard time for the LGBTQ community under the Trump administration. Never mind that Glenn’s prime skating years—her rise through juniors and seniors—unfolded mostly under Biden’s watch, with Trump’s single term ending in 2021. She’s pointing fingers at policies that, from what little she specified, seem more like cultural gripes than concrete harms. This isn’t just Olympic drama; it’s a masterclass in selective memory from an athlete who’s thrived in a nation that celebrates individual excellence, regardless of identity.

What’s fascinating here is the irony Glenn embodies. As a pro-2A lens reveals, the real hard times under Trump were for anti-freedom radicals who couldn’t stand a president who turbocharged gun rights—expanding concealed carry reciprocity, defending the NRA against witch hunts, and appointing judges who slapped down gun-grabbers left and right. Glenn’s complaint echoes the same playbook: amplify victimhood to demonize policies protecting core liberties. For the 2A community, this is a wake-up call. The LGBTQ narrative often allies with gun controllers, pushing red-flag laws and assault weapon bans that erode due process for everyone. Imagine if Glenn’s hard time included Second Amendment rollback—Trump fought that, empowering self-defense for all, including skaters in sketchy parking lots after late-night practice.

The implications? As Trump eyes a comeback, expect more elite athletes like Glenn to politicize podiums, blurring lines between sport and activism. But 2A patriots see through it: true resilience comes from armed citizens, not government handouts or identity politics. Glenn’s gold-medal glide might wow judges, but it won’t rewrite history or disarm defenders of freedom. Stay vigilant—our rights aren’t up for a triple axel.
