    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?

      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.

      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.
