“It always is, because what he’s saying is fake,” she said in response to Trump’s remarks. “It’s a compilation of hit words and hot-button words that don’t actually make any sort of sense or square with reality at all.”
“I think, just in general, the way that our team was spoken about over the course of the tournament, it was fake,” Rapinoe said in the interview.
“And it didn’t make sense to me: In 2019, we were ultra-confident, ultra-swaggy – and won everything,” she said. (Trending: Elon Musk Lavishes Praise on Trump)
“And even though we won, we did it in bad taste, according to our critics. This time, we weren’t confident enough, and we don’t have the right ‘mentality.’ And so we lost,” she continued.
“It’s just so disingenuous. There’s no way for us to win, and there’s no way for us to lose.”
“They want women to believe that you can’t fight for things and be excellent; you can’t ask for what you deserve and be successful,” Rapinoe added.
