Rapinoe's feelings about Donald Trump are well known, which is why you may be surprised to learn that she suspects her father helped vote him into office. As working class people who strongly believe in justice and equality, Rapinoe has always thought it would make sense for her parents to be more progressive.
"I'm very similar to how they are," she told The Guardian in August 2019, "even though I think my dad voted for Trump and I'll say: 'I don't get it. How are you simultaneously as proud as punch of me, and watching Fox News all the time, [who are doing] takedowns of your daughter?'" However, she considers herself close to her parents, even if they don't always have the same views.
