Donald Trump tweets wrong person in scathing Twitter attack on world cup star

Dozy Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on US women’s World Cup star Megan Rapinoe only to tweet the wrong person.

The President hit out at the footballer after she said she would refuse to visit the “f*ing” White House”, messaging an account which had only previously had 38 followers and sent two messages.

Trump blasted: “Women’s soccer player, , 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!”

Within minutes of his attack, the owner of the wrong account responded to his message.

They reposted his message and wrote, “she was right to say so cry me a river plus this isn’t even her acc”.

Trump later corrected his error but not before it had been seen by his 61 million followers.

Within minutes social media began burning Trump for his mistake while following the account her wrongly tweeted.

Katarina Haas, from Las Vegas, wrote: “You tagged the wrong account again, idiot,” while Rejina Sincic added: “Anyone want to tell the dumbass?”

The real Rapinoe spoke out on Tuesday when she was asked if she would visit the President if they successfully defended the World Cup in France.

“I’m not going to the f***g White House,’ Rapinoe, who was criticised by Trump for protesting the national anthem, said.

“No. I’m not going to the White House. We’re not gonna be invited.”

Co-captain Rapinoe's comments were made just a day after the president said her refusal to sing the national anthem or place her hand on her heart during its playing before matches was inappropriate.

Since Trump became president in January 2017, several sports teams have either declined invitations to the White House, were not invited, or cited “scheduling conflicts” as the reason they couldn’t attend.

The NBA's Golden State Warriors, the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles, the WNBA's Seattle Storm, the University of Notre Dame's women's college basketball team, Villanova University's men's basketball team, the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx, and NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson did not make the traditional celebratory trip to the White House.

Other teams, like Clemson's national championship football squad, the University of Alabama's football team, the New England Patriots, the Boston Red Sox, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Houston Astros did visit the White House, though not without controversy.
