After Megan Rapinoe missed a penalty kick ensuring the U.S. Women's National Team's loss against Sweden, Trump tried to blame Joe Biden and 'WOKE' America for the loss.

Former Republican President Donald Trump was criticized after he attempted to blame Democratic President Joe Biden and "WOKE" America for the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team's early exit from the World Cup, stating the nation is headed towards disaster.

The U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) faced an unexpected elimination from the World Cup, suffering a loss against Sweden in a penalty shootout on Sunday. The team's departure from the tournament at this stage is a historic first.


In a Sunday evening post on his struggling social media platform, Truth Social, Trump took the opportunity to criticize his 2024 presidential rival, President Biden, and took a jab at retiring soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe. Conservatives on various social media platforms mocked Rapinoe for missing a critical penalty shot that could have turned the tide of the match.

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 the our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden."
“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."

You can see his post below.

Trump was swiftly criticized for his remarks.








This isn't the first instance of Trump sparring with USWNT.

During his presidency in 2019, when the women's national team emerged victorious in the prior Women's World Cup, he exchanged sharp remarks with Rapinoe. At the time, Rapinoe had preannounced her intention to abstain from any White House visit in the event of her team's victory.

Rapinoe had openly criticized Trump on progressive issues, including LGBTQ+ rights and equal pay for women in sports.

Trump would later respond to her on Twitter, saying she "should never disrespect our country, the White House or our flag, especially since so much has been done for her and the team."

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
