Cristiano Ronaldo’s meeting with Donald Trump receives mixed reactions
Cristiano Ronaldo’s meeting with Donald Trump has sparked an intense debate on social media. In an Instagram video shared by the official White House account, Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, can be seen walking alongside Trump. The trio can also be seen chatting and laughing.
The meeting has become a major debate on social media. While some fans have appeared critical, others seem indifferent. One commenter posted, “If you needed more proof that Messi is better, now you don’t have to question it ever again.”
Another wrote, “If you scored a million goals, it wouldn’t make a difference. Congrats on ruining your legacy and disappointing your fans.” Several users wrote that they will be “unfollowing” the Portuguese footballer following his interaction with Trump.
However, some seemed supportive of Ronaldo’s union with Trump. One commenter posted, “I’m not even into soccer, but now Ronaldo’s my favorite player!” Another user shared, “Bless these two GOATS,” accompanied by heart emojis.
On Tuesday, November 18, Ronaldo and his fiancée attended a special White House dinner hosted by President Trump. The dinner was organized to honor Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Washington, D.C. The 40-year-old made his debut for Al-Nassr in January 2023 in a Saudi Pro League match against Al Ettifaq.
Ronaldo even initiated an internet-breaking selfie with Elon Musk, FIFA President Gianni Infantino, tech founder and investor David Sacks, and US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick.
Trump lavished praise on the Portuguese footballer during his speech at the dinner party. He said, “You know, my son is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo. We have Ronaldo here; I think my son respects his father a little more now that I’ve introduced you. Thank you for being here; it’s an honor.”
