Just like everyone else out here, Donald Trump is looking to explain exactly how the U.S. women’s national team fell short at the World Cup.
With a shootout defeat to Sweden on Sunday, the USWNT fell in the last 16 to seal its worst World Cup ever. The team’s previous worst finish was third place.
Perhaps the former U.S. President felt that Vlatko Andonovski should have gone to a 4-2-3-1 earlier than he did. Maybe he thought Ashley Sanchez should’ve been given a shot. Or maybe Trump concluded, after watching the SheBelieves Cup in 2022 and 2023, that injuries to Catarina Macario and Mallory Swanson were too much to overcome.
What’s that? He had a different take? Hmm, OK.
“The ‘shocking and totally unexpected’ loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to the our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close. WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA.”
Oh.
Trump, of course, has a bit of a history with the USWNT, especially Megan Rapinoe, whose penalty he made sure to compliment.
In 2019, Rapinoe stated that she wouldn’t be going to the “f—–g White House” if the USWNT won the World Cup, to which Trump said (among many other things) “Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job!”
Rapinoe and the USWNT would indeed finish the job, winning their second straight World Cup. This time around things didn’t go quite so well, which clearly delighted the 45th President of the United States.
But having concluded that “WOKE EQUALS FAILURE,” Trump may be a bit surprised to learn more about the team that eliminated the USWNT.
