Cristiano Ronaldo, a professional football player from Portugal, has lauded US President Donald Trump, calling him “one of the guys that can help to change the world.”
The 39-year-old superstar reportedly made the comments in a recent interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, when he talked candidly about life, sport, and world politics—a topic the Al-Nassr striker usually stays away from.
Given Ronaldo’s worldwide influence and the divisive character of Trump’s presidency, his remarks have generated conflicting responses on social media.
In the widely reported interview, Ronaldo said to Piers Morgan, “Donald Trump is one of the guys that can help to change the world.”
Trump fans have praised the remark, but others who see the former US president’s actions as divisive have criticized it.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has consistently remained impartial on political issues throughout his career, so his most recent comments are very noteworthy.
Ronaldo continues to be one of the most significant athletes in history, with more than one billion followers on social media.
Beyond football, his accomplishments, perseverance, and discipline have made him a global brand that inspires millions of people.
In addition to being the first billionaire in football history, Ronaldo has left a legacy that goes beyond athletics. His voice is powerful off the field as he pursues his career with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Trump’s Second Term and Reactions Around the World
According to reports, Trump, the 47th President of the United States, who took office again earlier this year for a second term, has implemented a number of audacious measures intended to improve America’s standing abroad.
Despite its brief duration, Ronaldo’s endorsement brings an unexpected celebrity element to the current political conversation about Trump’s foreign policy and leadership style.
According to others, the football player’s remarks could strengthen Trump’s reputation among his followers around the world, especially in the entertainment and sports industries.
Ronaldo’s attention is still on football, though. The Portuguese forward is still playing at a very high level and is now leading Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo is aiming for his first Saudi Pro League championship since joining the Middle Eastern team, and his club is in the lead in the league standings.
The seasoned striker, who has amassed over 950 goals in his career, is also getting ready for what may be his final World Cup participation in the United States next year—a symbolic comeback as his remarkable career draws to a close.
In their next match, Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will play an Indian team in the AFC Champions League division two.
The Portuguese star will have another chance to add to his incredible goal total and lead his team to continental success in this game.
