Trump Blames Biden and 'Wokeness' for USWNT's World Cup Loss

Former President Donald Trump went on a rant on his Truth Social platform, blaming President Joe Biden and "wokeness" for the US Women's National Soccer Team's early exit from the Women's World Cup. Trump criticized the team for being openly hostile to America and singled out striker Megan Rapinoe for missing a penalty. Trump's comments reflect his longstanding contentious relationship with Rapinoe, who has been an advocate for social justice and equality. In contrast, President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden praised the team for their determination and inspiring women and girls across the country. The US team lost to Sweden in a penalty shootout, marking the team's earliest-ever exit from the competition.
