President Trump mocked woke US Woman soccer star Megan Rapinoe after she missed a critical penalty shot.
Trump wrote, “The shocking and totally unexpected loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden.”
The 45th president continued “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.”
Here’s Trump’s full statement:
President Donald Trump has a few words for the masculine and totally not feminine US women’s soccer team that kneels for the US National Anthem and supports black supremacists in BLM.

Here’s what The New York Post reported:
Donald Trump directed an unhinged tirade at the US Women’s National Soccer Team, blaming its unexpected early exit from the World Cup on a culture of wokeness under “Crooked Joe Biden” — while savagely trolling Megan Rapinoe over the loss.
The US fell out of the Women’s World Cup Sunday after losing to Sweden 5-4 in a penalty shootout during a pivotal Round 16 match — the team’s earliest-ever exit from the tournament.
“The ‘shocking and totally unexpected’ loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden,” Trump, 77, gleefully wrote on Truth Social.
“Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close,” he continued. “WOKE EQUALS FAILURE.”
Here’s a flashback of what Trump said about Rapinoe in 2021:

Per Newsweek:
Former President Donald Trump has mocked Megan Rapinoe for her penalty miss against Sweden in the Women’s World Cup, while claiming the USWNT’s elimination from the competition is proof that “woke equals failure.”
Rapinoe, 38, who was making her 202nd appearance for USWNT and will be retiring at the end of the domestic season, put her spot kick over the crossbar in the last-16 game on Sunday as the USWNT were knocked out by Sweden in a penalty shoot out. Sophia Smith and Kelley O’Hara also failed to score their penalties. Lina Hurtig’s winning spot kick for Sweden narrowly crossed the line after it was partially saved by Alyssa Naeher, as the four-time Women’s World Cup champions were eliminated at the earliest stage of the competition in their history.
Numerous conservative figures chose to mock Rapinoe and the USWNT after their defeat because of their “woke” views. There had been criticism of the team for largely staying silent rather than singing during the playing of the national anthem before each game.
