Former President Trump on Thursday criticized an old target the U.S. womens national soccer team by saying players would have won the gold medal and not the bronze at the Olympics if they werent woke. Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has, Trump said in a statement issued by his Save America PAC. If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, wasnt woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze, he argued. The womens team took third place and the bronze medal in Tokyo after defeating Australia 4-3 on Thursday. They were knocked out of contention for a gold medal after losing to Canada 1-0 earlier in the week.

Trump has repeatedly targeted the women's national team for abuse, and players have fired back at the president. Things grew especially heated in 2019 as the team worked its way toward eventually winning the women's World Cup. Star player Megan Rapinoe, asked if she was excited about going to the White House if the team won, said ahead of the tournament, "I'm not going to the fucking White House." Trump responded on Twitter, which has since blocked him from using the platform, saying, "Megan should win before she talks." Trump has repeatedly picked fights with politically minded athletes, making Colin Kaepernick a major target when the then-San Francisco 49ers star took a knee to protest racial injustice. Trump on Thursday returned to that theme, criticizing players for kneeling during the anthem and saying that while there were a few Patriots standing, they they need more than that respecting our Country and National Anthem. They should replace the wokesters with Patriots and start winning again, he added. The former commander in chief specifically singled out Rapinoe without mentioning her by name, writing, The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics and not doing her job! Rapinoe, who has previously called herself a walking protest to Trumps policies, helped the U.S. reach the Olympic podium on Thursday, scoring two goals in addition to the two made by Carli Lloyd in their match against Australia. Despite not winning first place, team captain Becky Sauerbrunn said from Tokyo Thursday, That bronze means so much. It feels like we really had to earn that thing, she added, according to The New York Times. And were very proud of it.

Does he not realize they would get blown out if they were sleeping during the game?

---

Who gives a fuck about what he says?

---

so trump is woke?

---

How are they 'woke' exactly?

Not that it matters, coming from a fat fuck who never kicked a ball in his life.

---

So Trump is saying canada and Sweden are superior and the us should be more like them?

Interesting.

Were all 3 Americans in the 200 meter mens finals woke too?

---

Fat senile loser who joined the list of one term presidents has shit to say about Olympic medalists

---

When he's right, he's right

---

...as opposed to the Men's team which sucks so much ass they haven't even been in the Olympics since 2008
---

Trump needs a hug from the greatest international soccer player to ever do it.

---

Trump isn't woke and couldn't even win reelection, lol

---

Yeah! Slamming! High Testosterone! Arugula on his way to the White House rn!

---

Im not saying the "woke-ness" is the issue.

However, due to her outspoken political takes, Megan Rapinoe has gained serious celebrity status. Which is fine, but she is old. She is certainly not the star she once was, she is fighting for a starting position on her domestic club team. If she had been left off I'm sure there would have been some commotion.

She isn't even the oldest on the team. I don't think the issue is woke-ness but perhaps rather the stardom of the older members of the team.

---

Aren't the teams that won even more liberal than American liberals? :/

The players on the women's teams being old isn't really weird, I think the main concern is if the younger players are actually any good and the fact that other countries are starting to catch up (which the US is also seeing in other sports like men's basketball).

Christine Sinclair is 38.

Formiga is 43!

Many "woke" athletes have won though.

---

I could be wrong, but I do believe basketball players generally have longer careers.

There are also players domestically that are outperforming some of the older players on the USWNT.

yeah that was my thought too
"Like Canadian women feel any differently" or European teams lmao

---

Well i mean shed probably be served big macs or some shit if she did go.

---

Yeah there was some criticism from people who know women's soccer about the age of this squad, but I'd note that they actually performed pretty well in the match they lost to Canada; bounces just didn't go their way.

---

Trump is a piece of shit.

Yea I think it becomes a larger issue if the next World Cup or Olympics is a close copy of this past roster

of course he gives no explanation or evidence to support his claim. he just latches onto catch phrases that excite his base and, like the morons they are, they love it.

---

We have to reach a point where we treat this man as the crazy uncle that he is. Is it necessary for the media to report on everything he says and does?

Polls currently suggest he is the favorite to be the Republican nominee for President in 2024

And that gives the media license to report that he took a dump in a 14K gold toilet rather than 18K?

This kind of reporting belongs on tabloid trash. Shame on the mainstream media for reporting this nonsense.

They want equal pay (in reality should get more probably because they actually win games unlike the men most of the time) and thats a no no for some people.
