I'm not in to football but I have to question why Ronaldo, who is by all accounts a pretty stand up guy, hanging out with the orange fuck wit that is the current president?

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 44 points 1 month ago

Sadly the interconnectedness of the modern world means people of prominence need to suck up to those in power as to not draw their wrath.

Ronaldo might be representing some organisation that needs to be on the good side of the orange shitsack.

Ronaldo plays for a football team based in Saudi Arabia. That sheikh whose name I forget, the one who murdered the journalist Jamal Khashogi, was in Washington meeting with Trump. Said sheikh brought Ronaldo along, presumably because he’s good buddies with Ronaldo and wanted to show off his fancy sports puppet to Trump.

Ronaldo is also a petulant little child who got sent off for elbowing a player in a match against Ireland last week.

Two massive narcissists.

Ronaldo received a red card in the Portugal-Ireland, that got suspended after a dinner. https://apnews.com/article/world-cup-fifa-cristiano-ronaldo-ban-3d9e7b4eeeff0d4f93f21813869c5ed7

Ronaldo met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House (https://apnews.com/article/trump-saudi-visit-mbs-cristiano-ronaldo-7e9fff8c6ae0d0f33662398c372bb966) for a formal dinner with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman. FIFA president Gianni Infantino also attended the event and posed for a selfie photo with Ronaldo.

Maybe Ronaldo is wearing lifts?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago

This made me laugh. Well played.

[–] Dingleberrydipndots@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I was thinking they probably both are anyway

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And Trump is in his high heels too!

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Thank God he didn't put on his "fuck me heels", they would have needed a wide angle to keep him in the frame

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 10 points 1 month ago

I looked into this and the official version seems to be that Trump is indeed 6'3". I find that unbelievable, I've seen so many pictures of him standing with known tall and known short people, and he never looks to be over 6'.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Old people shrink. In the various pics you can find of Trump and Bill Clinton together Trump usually looks to be about the same height as Bill (6'2), though in more recent ones he appears to be an inch or two shorter. He may still be 6'1, tops.

Trump was 5' 10" a couple of decades ago but miraculously keeps getting taller. He's been wearing lifts several inches high for years.

The left guy pretends to be smaller.

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's possible that Trump was taller 30 years ago but lost height due to age.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Extra curvature of the the spine from all the years of bending to interact with children.

[–] fonix232@fedia.io 21 points 1 month ago

And to suck Bubba off

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm thinking this is it, yeah. Old people lose some height, commonly.

[–] wieson@feddit.org -5 points 1 month ago

The left guy? lol
It's Cristiano Ronaldo

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The joke didn't stand a chance, poor little guy.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Went so far over his head, it's now hurtling through space...
