White House Shares Chilling Eagle Image After Trudeau’s Defiant Warning — And People Think It’s No Accident

The White House X account posted what seemed like a threat to Canada.

On Sunday morning, for the third time in history, the United States and Canada’s national hockey teams squared off for the Olympic gold medal. On Sunday, for the first time, the U.S. won in overtime on a goal by Jack Hughes.

Naturally, the White House felt the need to gloat over the victory:

Yes, that’s a photo of a bald eagle appearing to assault a Canadian goose. It’s not, needless to say, the type of message that would have been sent out from the official White House account under any other president.

The White House account was quote-tweeting a message from more than a year ago by Canada’s then-prime minister, Justin Trudeau, vowing, “You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.” The February 2025 message from Trudeau was sent at a time when Trump was talking about making Canada America’s 51st state, and also following Canada’s win over the U.S. in the 4 Nations tournament, also in overtime.

The U.S. victory over Canada in the Olympics does not, of course, mean that the U.S. gets to take over Canada.

Also, FBI Director Kash Patel was at the Olympics for some reason and was partying with the American hockey players.

There were some shocked reactions on social media to the eagle post.
