U.S. — Former President Trump is facing yet another indictment, this time for mocking U.S. Women's soccer after their embarrassing loss to Sweden over the weekend. "The sanctity of U.S. Women's soccer is never to be made fun of," said Special Council Jack Smith after reading the charges. "Every one of those highly attractive and beautiful women is both stunning and brave. We believe Trump violated the constitution somehow by making fun of them on Truth Social, and we will prove it as soon as we can figure out which law he broke." According to sources, Trump posted the words...

Former President Trump knocked the “woke” U.S. women’s soccer team after its loss in the round of 16 of the Women’s World Cup over the weekend. “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,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Sunday evening. “Many of our players were openly hostile to America – No other country behaved in such a manner, or even close.

Instead, Rapinoe, who is set to retire after this season, ended her celebrated career on a bitter note, later likening her missing a penalty to a “sick joke” in an interview with Fox Sports. Rapinoe has not publicly responded to Trump’s taunts

It was not the ending Megan Rapinoe had planned. She went so far as to call it "dark comedy" and a "sick joke", such was her dismay. After 17 years of putting herself on the line for the Stars and Stripes, the two-time Women's World Cup winner was in tears as she departed the global stage for the final time. On Rapinoe's 202nd appearance for the USA, the defending world champions dramatically lost 5-4 on penalties to Sweden after a last-16 goalless draw in Melbourne. Rapinoe, 38, ranks among the most successful players of her generation and announced before the...

She went so far as to call it "dark comedy" and a "sick joke", such was her dismay. ...With the USA leading 3-2 on penalties on a tension-filled night, substitute Rapinoe missed her spot-kick before Sophia Smith and Kelley O'Hara also failed to score in the shootout. When Lina Hurtig converted the decisive penalty by the finest of margins, eliminating the four-time world champions, Rapinoe was overcome with emotion. The Olympic gold medal winner hoisted up her shirt in an attempt to hide her face. Ten minutes after the game, the television cameras picked out Rapinoe being consoled by team-mate...
