Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has not minced words in her latest criticism of Donald J. Trump, harshly condemning him as a “lying liar” over what she described as his evasive handling of a recent MRI scan. According to Navratilova, Trump “feigned ignorance” when questioned about the scan — failing to specify which body part was scanned, and sidestepping meaningful answers. In her view, that lack of transparency is a glaring betrayal of public trust, especially for a leader.
She did not stop there. Navratilova expanded her criticism to include other controversial decisions by Trump’s administration, including his controversial pardon of a convicted former Honduran president — suggesting the move only served to deepen public skepticism about Trump’s moral compass and judgment.
For Navratilova — once among the all‑time greats of the tennis world — the outrage isn’t just about politics or public posturing. It’s a matter of integrity, honesty, and accountability. By calling Trump a “lying liar,” she aimed a sharp rebuke not only at this latest scandal, but at what she perceives as a pattern of misdirection under his leadership.
Her remarks are part of a long history of outspoken commentary from the former world No. 1, who has repeatedly used her platform to challenge the former president’s policies, statements and decisions. Whether it’s economic promises, legal actions, or personal disclosures like the MRI scan — Navratilova says her criticism will not relent.
With tensions high and public scrutiny growing, Navratilova’s latest salvo adds another layer to the debate over transparency and trust in political leadership — a debate that, for her, matters just as much as any match on the court.
