Since the competition began on Friday, Trump has tweeted about the massive budget deal he signed into law, his desire to have more Republican legislators in Congress and offered condolences for two Ohio police officers who were killed in the line of duty.
He tweeted about jobless claims dropping, his decision to block release of a Democratic memo on the Russia investigation and the downfall of a top aide accused of domestic abuse.
Trump did send a pair of tweets last week complimenting the host country for the games.
"Best wishes to the Republic of Korea on hosting the @Olympics! What a wonderful opportunity to show everyone that you are a truly GREAT NATION!" he tweeted last Wednesday, two days before the opening ceremony. He followed up with: "Congratulations to the Republic of Korea on what will be a MAGNIFICENT Winter Olympics! What the South Korean people have built is truly an inspiration!"
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders yesterday congratulated the US Olympic team on a "great start."
"We especially look forward to snowboarders Jamie Anderson and Red Gerard bringing their gold medals back home with them very soon," she said.
Vice President Mike Pence returned to Washington late Saturday after leading the US delegation to Friday's opening ceremony.
Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, who serves in the White House as an unpaid adviser to her father, will lead a delegation to the closing ceremony.
