Megan Rapinoe, the former U.S. soccer star notorious for using her platform to push a woke, far-left agenda, is once again sounding the alarm over President-elect Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House. Following Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Rapinoe took to the *A Touch More* podcast, expressing her fears about what she describes as a “hateful” and “chaotic” presidency. According to Rapinoe, it’s not just the future of America that’s at stake, but the safety of her “trans friends” as well.
Rapinoe, who has never shied away from voicing her controversial opinions, explained that while she wasn’t personally afraid, she was deeply concerned about the transgender community under a Trump administration. “I think that fear extends to just people in general that will be really affected,” she said, singling out “trans kids” and her transgender friends. Rapinoe’s remarks seem to reflect an ongoing sense of dread that pervades much of the left after Trump’s latest victory, despite the fact that he has repeatedly championed policies that protect all Americans, including the LGBTQ+ community.
Her concerns, however, go beyond just social issues. Rapinoe also expressed alarm over Trump’s immigration policies, specifically his promise of mass deportations. “I’m thinking about the potential of mass deportations if that is going to happen,” she warned, as though it’s somehow out of step with the will of the American people to enforce immigration law and secure the nation’s borders. The truth is, most Americans want a legal, orderly immigration system that prioritizes national security over unchecked border crossings.
In a particularly out-of-touch moment, Rapinoe compared the current Republican Party’s positions to the dark days of slavery and inequality. “This is America, and we were founded on slavery and inequality,” she lamented, as though comparing the policies of one of the most inclusive administrations in modern history to the horrors of slavery is a valid comparison. Rapinoe’s failure to recognize the progress this country has made—especially under Trump’s leadership—only highlights the left’s obsession with identity politics and its refusal to acknowledge the country’s remarkable strides toward equality.
Rapinoe’s comments reflect the growing divide within the Democratic Party as they process their devastating loss. Despite their claims of moral superiority, the Democrats failed to connect with the voters who decided the election. Trump’s sweeping victories across key battleground states—and even winning the popular vote—have forced many on the left to confront the reality that their message is falling on deaf ears. Rapinoe herself admitted, “Obviously, the Democratic Party missed the mark on some things,” and acknowledged that they would need to rethink their approach if they hope to resonate with more voters in the future.
This week’s comments are far from Rapinoe’s first foray into the world of politics. She has previously clashed with Trump over his criticisms of the U.S. women’s soccer team after their loss to Sweden in the 2023 World Cup. In response to the unexpected defeat, Trump slammed the team for their “open hostility” toward America and their woke attitude. “WOKE EQUALS FAILURE. Nice shot Megan, the USA is going to Hell!!! MAGA,” he famously tweeted, underscoring his belief that the team’s performance—mired in political activism rather than pure athleticism—reflected the broader cultural rot America was experiencing under President Biden.
As Trump prepares for another term, it’s clear that Rapinoe and many other far-left celebrities are still struggling to accept the will of the people. Their constant victimhood narrative is a direct rejection of the progress this country has made and the desires of the millions of Americans who voted for change. If anything, Trump’s victory serves as a strong rebuke to the progressives who have hijacked mainstream politics with their divisive rhetoric and radical agenda.
