Former US president Donald Trump has blamed Megan Rapinoe for the USWNT‘s penalty shootout loss to Sweden at the Women’s World Cup.

The ex-president took to Truth Social to voice his criticism and to attack Joe Biden at the same time.

“Many of our players were openly hostile to America.
“No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close.
