New Delhi. Former United States President Donald Trump has criticized the US women’s Olympic football team that won the bronze medal by defeating Australia on August 5. Trump, 77, said in a statement: “If our football team hadn’t been woken up by a radical leadership group of left-wing lunatics, they would have won a gold medal instead of a bronze.” He said ‘waking up means you lose, whatever it is the Walkers get screwed and our football team definitely got screwed.’ The former president said, “They should replace people with leftist views or outlook on social justice in the team with patriots and start winning again.”
The former US President has targeted other team members including female star player Megan Rapinoe. He specifically targeted Rapinoe, calling her the player with the “purple hair”. Trump said that he played very badly. Even though he scored two of the four goals for the team, including a stunning corner.
Rapinoe is one of the most outspoken critics of Donald Trump and previously supported Senator Elizabeth Warren during the 2020 Democratic primary.
Trump has made comments like this before:
Trump has previously criticized Rapinoe for refusing to tour the White House while in office. He celebrated the US women’s soccer team’s win against Sweden during a rally in Arizona late last month.
At that time, he had said, ‘The behavior and attitude of people who are aware of social and political injustice makes them lost somewhere. It ruins your mind, and destroys you as a person. You get perverted. You get mad. The US women’s soccer team is a very good example of what is going on.
