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?

[–] OriginalUsername7@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

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.

Two massive narcissists.

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

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Maybe Ronaldo is wearing lifts?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

This made me laugh. Well played.

I was thinking they probably both are anyway

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

And Trump is in his high heels too!

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day 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

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 day 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.

The left guy pretends to be smaller.

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

The left guy? lol
It's Cristiano Ronaldo

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 days 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 day 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 day ago

And to suck Bubba off

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

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

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

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

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