Former President Barack Obama posted a photo to Instagram and Twitter Wednesday morning of himself (as always) holding a U.S. women’s soccer team World Cup championship jersey emblazoned with his name.
Obama wrote, “Proud to rep America’s best team! Congrats @USWNT and thanks for being such a strong inspiration for women and girls—and everybody—all across the country.”

The U.S. women’s soccer team, led by Megan Rapinoe, has disrespected President Donald Trump, shunning in profane language a White House visit in favor of invitations by Democrats in Congress, and dissed the flag during their World Cup championship run.

The success of the team has been marred by its progressive politics that have–as progressives do–alienated half the country.
Former President Obama is exploiting this division with his tweet Wednesday morning.
President Trump, who has sparred online with Rapinoe, magnanimously tweeted congratulations to the team upon its 2-0 victory over the Netherlands in the World Cup final on Sunday.
Congratulations to the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team on winning the World Cup! Great and exciting play. America is proud of you all!

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!
