The Trump family are die-hard fans of both Ronaldo and Messi.
Details: Today at the White House, in the Oval Office of US President Donald Trump, the official reception for Inter Miami kicked off, with the team's main star being the legendary Leo Messi.
After Trump's recent meeting with Ronaldo, fans speculated about what he would say to Leo, especially since he previously called the Portuguese forward the greatest footballer of all time. But as we know, Trump always finds a way to handle any situation.
Trump looked at Messi, smiled, and said:
“My son is a big fan of you [Messi] and Ronaldo. My son said: ‘Dad, do you know who’s going to be here today?’ I replied: ‘No, I’m busy with a lot of things...’”
Messi couldn’t help but smile at these words, exchanging glances with Trump before the US President continued his address.
