The French footballers face the Moroccans at 1 p.m. on Tuesday August 8, for the round of 16 of the World Cup. A competition which will be played on the other hand without the Americans. The reigning world champions have been eliminated. Which earned them the mockery of the former president.
We did not know that Donald Trump was following the Women’s Football World Cup (he rather frequents golf courses) but the elimination, Monday August 6 on penalties against Sweden, of American players did not escape him. Favorites of the competition, they were taken out by Sweden on penalties in the round of 16. A major underperformance. However, Donald Trump did not show much empathy in his message posted on social networks. Neither encouragement nor regrets: he prefers to share his analysis of this elimination. No sports analysis, no comment on the tactical device or technical errors. Donald Trump prefers to draw political lessons from it. For him, if the American footballers lost, it was the fault … of Joe Biden, the current president, who beat Trump three years ago.
This sports elimination is “emblematic of what is happening in the United States” according to Donald Trump, under the mandate of “corrupt Joe Biden”. The United States is referred to as“former great nation”, by Trump. Implied: former great nation in football, as in politics. In his message, Donald Trump therefore scratches his rival, Joe Biden, whom he intends to face in the next presidential election, in a year. But that’s not his only target. The ex-president also attacks the team. Many players are “openly hostile to America”too “woke” which is synonymous with failure, he writes.
He alludes, without naming her, to the most famous footballer in this American selection, Megan Rapinoe. What does Trump accuse him of? She is part of all social struggles.
It is mobilizing for the maintenance of the right to abortion, for the equality of financial bonuses, between footballers and footballers. First world-class player to have publicly spoken about her homosexuality, Megan Rapinoe is very committed against discrimination. The height of abomination for Donald Trump, she even refused to sing the American anthem, and symbolically knelt down to protest against racism. In the match lost by the Americans two days ago, Megan Rapinoe missed a shot on goal. This sparked mockery from Donald Trump. The future candidate, in his fight against the progressives, did not miss the opportunity.
