Because the Diplomatic Protection Service and Secret Service agents won't be enough?

Hold on are you telling me that the Tkachuks, such alphas that they are, won’t be protecting themselves?

No, no, no. They're going to ensure that no US athletes defect to a foreign country ala Sergei Fedorov and Vladdy Konstantinov.

I don't buy that we're quite at the point of defections. However, since ICE has proven to be little more than his not-so-secret police, it's safe to assume Donnie's intent is to intimidate them into not trashing him and his incompetent, fashie cabal in the press. Plus, it's the Winter Olympics - far fewer minority athletes and minority audience - so compliance is more likely.

I say it's more of a dry run for when he has to do it in 2 years to put a clamp on the black sprinters and gymnasts. Or threaten to do it to ensure more white athletes are picked to represent the country, even if they aren't the best.
