Trump Stirs Up Rally Goers to Cheer US Women’s Soccer Team’s Olympic Defeat: They’ve Become ‘Warped’ and ‘Demented’

By Brandon Contes Jul 26th, 2021, 9:40 am

The United States women’s soccer team began their Olympic run in Tokyo with a stunning loss to Sweden. For many Americans, the defeat was a disappointment, but former president Donald Trump proudly led the crowd at a rally event to cheer the USWNT loss.

“The US Women’s Soccer team is a very good example of what’s going on,” Trump said Saturday at a Turning Point Action “Rally to Protect Our Elections!” event in Phoenix, AZ.

“Wokeism makes you lose, ruins your mind, and ruins you as a person. You become warped. You become demented,” Trump continued, blaming the US soccer team’s opening loss on their politics. “Earlier this week they unexpectedly lost to Sweden, three-to-nothing, and Americans were happy about it.”

The crowd responded to Trump by cheering.

Jan 6th wasn't an anomaly and it wasn't without a preceding pattern of behavior.

It's when you project your own faults, failings, and actions onto others.

It makes us wonder, no doubt.

Are the women from Russia still in the field?

so it would be Brazil next. Perfectly respectable to support the Brazilian women's football team, of course, but TFG will only like them because Bolsonaro is a fellow thug, liar, grifter etc.

Russia is officially not competing at all, due to their drugs cheating, but there is the "Russian Olympic Committee" under which teams can compete (eg in the gymnastics). But they're not in the football.

These people who supposedly "love America" sure have a weird way of showing it.

This morning I saw a meme on Facebook that said something about "wanting to return to the America of my youth," so I clicked on it to see the comments. One man posted "America is lost. It is a cesspool of violence and depravity, and it's never coming back and nobody can save it. It is a failed nation. Nobody in the world respects America anymore."

Reminds me of Trump's "American Carnage" speech at the inauguration. If a Democrat said some of these things, the right would be screaming for them to be burned at the stake.

Its more bizarro world nonsense. If a Democrat would have dared to run on a platform that implied American was no longer "Great" - let alone not the greatest country in the world - they would have been skewered as the most anti-American candidate in the history of the country by every single person who voted for DJT.

When I see "DJT" I can't help but put in some letters - sponsored by Looney Tunes cartoons and Yosemite Sam.

DJT = IDJIT.

Can't expect much more from a bunch of brain-dead idiots who went from standing out in the rain, to packing themselves in a building full of other pandemic-infected brain-dead idiots, to listen to the greatest hits of a syphilis- and drug-addled, treasonous loser.

Not surprising that Jabba the Gut stood up there and projected the way he always does. That warped, demented sack of shit has no mind left to be ruined.

Preferably one that leaves him conscious and in great pain but wholly unable to move or communicate.

Somewhere out there, there's a line yet to be crossed that even MAGAts won't tolerate. I hope he manages to blunder across it before he hits his expiration date.

Because if and when he does cross that line, the turning will be rapid, brutal, and beautiful to behold.

Maybe the gods could send him a nice case of laryngitis for a couple weeks. Sadly, I think talking is like breathing for Trump.
