The United States Women’s National Team suffered quite a disappointing loss on Sunday when they fell to Sweden in a penalty kick shootout which eliminated them from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. And following the loss, former United States President Donald Trump wasted no time in blasting them on social media.
On Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump shared an absolutely brutal message about the team on Truth Social, the social network he helped create when he was banned from Twitter and Facebook in 2020.
“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,” Trump said in his post, which has not been altered to correct his grammatical mistakes.
It was a pretty clear message from Trump, and it led to plenty of reactions on social media.
He’s going after the soccer team now? 🤦♂️ pic.twitter.com/Q1fFqxcTDz

Donald Trump just attacked these soccer players and blamed President Biden. Absolutely disgusting and pathetic and should show you what a terrible human Donald is. Joe Biden, meanwhile, said he’s very proud of them. So am I. So is the rest of America.

So Trump attacks the USA women’s soccer team saying “USA is going to hell!” But Biden congratulated the team saying “you’ve made your country proud.” And Republicans try to claim that Trump loves this country?
Biden loves America. Trump hates it.

Cheering when our National women’s soccer team is defeated because you didn’t think they were “patriotic enough” is a hell of a way of showing your patriotism.
MAGA really owned Libs with this one.

Imagine being the front runner for the nomination for president of the United States and then using your platform to mock the US National soccer team and Megan Rapinoe for losing a shootout in the world cup.
These women worked their butts off to get where they did. They trained… pic.twitter.com/cOAhjTiXBV

America’s most reviled Traitor has done more damage to our Nation than anyone in our History. Not a single player on the Women’s soccer team is openly hostile to our Nation, however, the man who wants to destroy our Democracy is the real threat to our Nation. https://t.co/fZdZ6XpBIc

It’s clear that Trump was not a fan of what he saw from the United States Women’s National Team this tournament – or more likely, he’s pandering to his voters.
