President Donald Trump took to Twitter Wednesday morning and tore into US woman’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe after she remarked that she is “not going to the F**king White House” if Team USA won the women’s World Cup this year.
The remarks came in the aftermath of Rapinoe repeatedly refusing to participate in the US national anthem before World Cup games she was participating in, supposedly as a form of protest President Trump.
Needless to say, Trump seems to have finally lost his patience with the outspoken soccer star:
Women’s soccer player, @mPinoe, just stated that she is “not going to the F…ing White House if we win.” Other than the NBA, which now refuses to call owners, owners (please explain that I just got Criminal Justice Reform passed, Black unemployment is at the lowest level…

….in our Country’s history, and the poverty index is also best number EVER), leagues and teams love coming to the White House. I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! We haven’t yet….

….invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!

Rapinoe’s radical actions and statements insulted her country and disrespected the American flag in front of a worldwide audience, but it appears that President Trump has finally set her straight.
