“I’m not going to the fucking White House.” - @mPinoe pic.twitter.com/sz1ADG2WdT— Eight by Eight (@8by8mag) June 25, 2019
Trouble is, Trump being Trump, he tweeted his rage at the wrong 'Megan Rapino.'
“Women’s soccer player, @meganrapino, 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!”
It appears someone at the White House tipped off the Donald about his latest gaffe and he retweeted.

Rapinoe isn't the first athlete to decline a visit to Trump's White House.
The Toronto Raptors shooting guard, Danny Green told the press a visit to the White House now that the Raptors are NBA champs is a “hard pass."

Guy who molests the flag regularly when he's not raping someone or grabbing a pussy, and disrespects the country with his every vulgar utterance is sad that Megan Rapinoe doesn't want his hamberders. https://t.co/dV6PpzcsEb— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) June 26, 2019
Trump is now going after Megan Rapinoe because the “fuck your feelings” president flips out when members of groups targeted by his policies criticize him rather than knowing their place.— Adam Serwer🍝 (@AdamSerwer) June 26, 2019
Megan Rapinoe is an incredible athlete who for years has used her platform to speak out against police brutality and racial profiling. The President should not be attacking @mPinoe’s right to protest. https://t.co/QA5ee8loG7— GLAAD (@glaad) June 26, 2019
Btw, Megan Rapinoe has been one of the greatest human-athletes on the planet since she showed up on the scene. She's an advocate, she's a wonder, she's always been far ahead of the curve, like this 2014 op-ed. We have stanned, and continue to stan. https://t.co/6qKAij8TNp pic.twitter.com/tiWFCwu2k8— Slade (@Slade) June 26, 2019
