Donald Trump Celebrates Cristiano Ronaldo As “Great Football Player” In Viral Post

Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently heaped praise on Cristiano Ronaldo, calling the football icon “incredible” in a new social media post.

Trump shared that Ronaldo had called to thank him for offering a tour of both the White House and the Oval Office, describing the Portuguese star.

“The GREAT soccer (football!) player,” Trump said. “You just don’t get any better.” He also emphasized that Ronaldo is not only a legendary athlete but a “great guy… as person,” signaling deep admiration for the forward’s character.

Ronaldo’s visit came during a high-profile White House dinner attended by world leaders, celebrities, and top sports figures. During the event, Trump revealed that his son Barron is “a big fan” of Ronaldo, joking that introducing his son to the superstar may have earned him “some extra respect at home.”

After the dinner, Ronaldo and his partner publicly thanked Trump for the warm welcome, sharing photos from inside the White House and expressing appreciation for the opportunity. A video later released by the White House showed Trump and Ronaldo walking together, captioned “Two GOATs,” a moment that quickly spread across social media.

The public show of mutual admiration sparked global reaction. Supporters saw it as an example of how sports figures like Ronaldo continue to influence cultural and diplomatic spaces. Others questioned the political implications behind Trump’s praise.

Regardless of the debate, one message was unmistakable: Trump considers Cristiano Ronaldo not just an elite footballer but a global figure whose impact reaches far beyond the sport.
