“The President of the United States has tweeted hateful about his own citizens. He wrote bad things to his own national team in the most important event of their lives. Pretty worthless act,” Rapino said.
In 2019 Team USA won the World Cup and Rapino refused to come to Trump’s reception at the White House.
“Your message is excluding people. You exclude people like me, you exclude people of different races and nationalities, you exclude Americans who can support you,” Rapino said at the time.
Formerly Rapino accused Trump in the takeover of the Capitol in Washington.
