Rapinoe took aim at the United States’ Commander-In-Chief with a stinging verbal attack, saying, “We have a white nationalist – I think – in the White House.
“And, the spewing of hate and the ‘other-ing’ of the rest of the country has only led to more rife between people and more despair and more anxiety and more fear going forward.”
“There’s been nothing to ease Donald Trump’s base. It’s not like he’s giving them a bunch of jobs,” she continued.
“It’s not like he’s made life really better for them. He’s just given them this false reason why maybe they’re not happy with their lives. There’s been no sort of path forward.”
Following her up-front comments, Rapinoe was then asked if she would ever consider moving into the world of politics once she has hung up her boots and retired from “The Beautiful Game.”
“I’m not totally shutting the door, but it seems wild,” she said, before saying that if she did ever get into politics, she’d be aiming for the top job.
Currently, Rapinoe and her USWNT colleagues are embroiled in a legal battle with the governing body of football in the United States, US Soccer, over equal pay for women players.
