Trump explodes in racist rant after US soccer star says she won't visit the White House

By

Trump can't handle being rejected for his racism, so he exploded with racism again.

Trump lashed out at USA soccer star Megan Rapinoe Wednesday morning, which quickly devolved into a racist rant about the NBA.

Team USA is currently competing in the World Cup tournament.

"I'm not going to the fucking White House," Rapinoe told reporters in a video posted online Tuesday.

Trump doesn't like that the term 'owners' is considered racially insensitive.
from his tweet...



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),.....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....


and from the article..
The NBA has for years been transitioning away from using the label of "owner" out of racial sensitivity.

"The change was made due to concerns that the term 'owner' can be viewed as racially insensitive in a league where tsensitivity.

"The change was made due to concerns that the term 'owner' can be viewed as racially insensitive in a league where the vast majority of players are African-American and the majority of owners are Caucasian," CBS Sports noted on Monday.


I guess Trump could not scold her without bringing black players into it.

I'd call that typical trump nonsense rather than "racist". I actually agree with him on the "owner" bit. People have lost their damn minds if calling team owner a team owner is now "racially insensitive". Seriously, that's ridiculous.

are upset that the term "owners" should have any impact on the majority of black players in the game. Maybe they're not upset that black people could be bothered, they're upset that anyone gives a damn what black players might think or feel.

She isn't disrespecting the County, White House, or Flag in protesting racial inequality. She is saying that America needs to be better than to continue allowing it to happen.

She isn't disrespecting the "White House" she is saying that she doesn't want to go there while a cheating, disgusting, piece of shit like you Trump is disrespecting the office with your presence.

with Colin Kaepernick: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/soccer/uswnts-megan-rapinoe-kneels-during-national-anthem-solidarity-colin-kaepernick , so perhaps the Orange Moron is upset with her showing solidarity with black athletes, which probably brought to mind the NBA for him. My theory anyway

Trump lashes out at U.S. women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe for saying she won't go to the 'f***ing White House' if the team wins the World Cup - but he inadvertently tweets at the wrong person

In a since-deleted tweet mistakenly directed at the wrong person, President Donald Trump slammed U.S. national women's soccer team captain Megan Rapinoe's recent assertion that she is 'not going to the f***ing White House' if the team wins the ongoing World Cup in France.

'Women's soccer player, @meganrapino, just stated that she is "not going to the F...ing White House if we win,"' Trump wrote, inadvertently tweeting at a person named Megan Rapino, whose profile picture happens to be a shot of a different female soccer player.

In solidarity with Rapinoe, the previously unknown Rapino responded directly to Trump: 'and she was right to say so cry me a river plus this isn't even her acc.'

Although Trump's initial tweet was deleted, he did continue along that thread, taking credit for improving the economy and voicing his support for the U.S. team. He even wrote that he would invite U.S women's national team to the White House, win or lose, but that Rapinoe 'should WIN first before she TALKS!'

Rapino has since changed her Twitter profile name to 'maybe megan rapinoe.'

After deleting the original tweet, Trump republished his message, this time using Rapinoe's handle, @mPinoe.
