It's like Bidenomics, but for soccer.
Joe Biden congratulated the USWNT on their 'incredible run' following a historic loss at the World Cup. Framing bad performance as a great achievement seems to be a running theme with the Biden Administration.
President Biden (@POTUS) ~ USWNT, you’ve made your country proud.
Congratulations on an incredible run. This team is something special and I’m looking forward to seeing how you continue to inspire Americans with your grit and determination – on and off the field.
In fairness to the intern who tweets for the prehistoric president, the USWNT has finished in the top three, winning four gold medals, since 1991 when the World Cup began. That is, by any standard, a great run in sports, but to 'congratulate' the team on their worst finish EVER was as ham-handedly Joe Biden-ish as Joe Biden can be.
Next, we expect Jill to invite them to the White House to celebrate the loss.
Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) ~ 🤣🤣 They just put in their worst ever World Cup performance and most of them refused to sing the National Anthem. Who did they make proud, exactly?
Biden also worked in a reference to the team's 'grit and determination – on and off the field', likely a nod to the liberal activism and dishonorable treatment of the national anthem that has turned so many Americans against the team.
Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) ~ It was only an “incredible run” in a “Bidenomics” kind of way.
LOL. Exactly.
Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) ~ When we saw Megan Rapinoe miss that penalty kick:

As Twitchy readers know, onlookers were letting Megan Rapinoe have it with both barrels, as her career ended on a missed penalty kick.
Megan Rapinoe is a pathetic, narcissistic skank.
Sandy (@RightGlockMom) ~ They knelt and didn't sing our national anthem. They most certainly did not make our country proud.
The political posturing of the soccer sheilas have earned them quite the negative reputation with many.
Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) ~ This is like calling your Afghanistan withdrawal a success.
Congratulations on your incredible run ... to the airport in Kabul.
Owen Sullivan (@Owensully123) ~ Joe, be real, this was the most embarrassing women’s team in our country’s history. Arrogance killed us. Let’s find players that have more respect.
Wouldn't it be great for America's team to actually honor America during our national anthem? We're guessing it's been quite a difficult ride for some of the ladies on the team who have been forced into silence so Rapinoe could make everything about herself.
But ... arrogance? What's this guy mean by that?

Oh, yeah, it's probably stuff like that.
As they say, pride cometh before a fall.
Hakim (@kareemjeanjr) ~ Stunning and brave!
LOLOLOL!
Matt (@mattykinsX) ~
Ouch.
Kirk Lubimov (@KirkLubimov) ~ {Replying to @POTUS and @USWNT} Which part made you proud?
The refusal to sing the national anthem or the worst performance in years?
Joe Biden: 'Yes.'
Will Harter (@willisfx88 ) ~
More about America, less about you, please.
Kevin McD (@KevinMcD34) ~ Joe, they lost. Maybe if they concentrated on the game and not bashing America, it would be different.
Hear! Hear!
Mike Sperrazza (@MikeASperrazza) ~ Here is the “everyone gets a trophy” speech by our president.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ Biden's vacation lasted longer than this team did in the World Cup but his social media team is out here calling it an "incredible run."
Nobody spins like the Biden administration.
aka (@akafacehots) ~ You’re the worst president in U.S. history.
He's had an incredible run.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
