Olympic bobsledder Lauren Gibbs is exceeding at representing Team USA in PyeongChang, South Korea.

The athlete diplomatically captioned the photo, “It’s important to remember that we don’t have to agree on everything to get along, be civil to each other and enjoy each others company. #itsforamerica it was a pleasure to meet you both.”

Some fans are disappointed that the Olympian posed next to Trump.

To which Gibbs responded, “I am not falling for anything…but being nasty to them would not solve the issue…and don’t get me wrong there are many issues.”

“I feel like this almost is like trying on someone’s wedding band,” said Trump. “Am I allowed?”

“That is so cool,” Trump added.

Other Olympians have come under fire for being welcoming to Trump at the Olympics. American lugers Matt Mortensen and Taylor Morris were also criticized for sharing a selfie with Sanders and Trump by the Twitterverse.
