WNBA’s Natasha Cloud criticizes Trump, Iran strikes
Updated June 27, 2025
New York Liberty guard Natasha Cloud is facing backlash after criticizing former President Donald Trump and the recent U.S. military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Her remarks have ignited a debate about athlete activism and its place in professional sports.
Cloud responded to the U.S. military’s strikes on Saturday night, writing on X, “A sad sad day,” and “Grounds for impeachment.” She later added, “I pi—d all the tumplicans off again It’s okay to admit y’all were wrong.[And] also I feel as if it’s only right y’all enlist for the frontlines first.Not other peoples sons and daughters.”
In February, Cloud responded to Trump’s decision to eliminate several government DEI programs, telling The Associated Press, “The systems of power are working as they always were intended to work, and it’s time to break down a system that has only been about White men.” She added that she believes the country is putting “money over people.”
Cloud doubled down on her remarks in a social media post days later,writing,”Thing is I’m not soft,& words don’t hurt me lol are we 5? it still remains people over profit. If yall truly about being unbiased… Google search any overseas media coverage of what’s happening in America. Then come back to me and tell me the whole world crazy.”
Cloud has also drawn scrutiny for her comments regarding WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark. During an interview on the “Pivot Podcast,” Cloud weighed in on the debate surrounding illegal hits against clark, insisting the outrage was rooted in “racism.”
Cloud said, “It’s just a part of the game. There was no targeting, there was no nothing. That narrative that got spun into, ‘Oh, the vets hate the rookies.The rookies hate the vets. The vets are going after certain players,’ it’s all bulls—. If I’m just going to be frank, it’s all bulls—. What it is is racism.”
During a game between Cloud’s Liberty and Clark’s Indiana Fever on may 24, Cloud defended Clark and leaned into the superstar enough to knock the ball out of Clark’s hands on the final possession. No foul was called, and Cloud’s Liberty secured a two-point win.
What’s next
As the WNBA season progresses, it remains to be seen how Cloud’s outspokenness will continue to impact her public image and the broader conversation around athletes using their platforms for social and political commentary.
