Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated video depicting himself and Cristiano Ronaldo kicking a football around the Oval Office, prompting widespread bemusement online.The clip, shared on Truth Social on Thursday, shows the pair dribbling between sofas and striking shots off the Resolute Desk with impossibly slick technique before celebrating in exaggerated slow motion.Trump appended a brief message beneath the video: “Ronaldo is a GREAT GUY. Loved meeting him at the White House. Really smart, and cool!!! President DJT.”The highly footage surfaced 24 hours after Ronaldo made a high-profile appearance at a black-tie White House dinner on Tuesday night, following a high-profile diplomatic meeting involving Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.Ronaldo, 40, attended alongside fiancée Georgina Rodríguez, joining business leaders and political figures including Elon Musk and US Vice President JD Vance.Wearing a black tuxedo, the Al-Nassr forward appeared relaxed as he mingled with guests.Later in the evening, he posed for a widely shared selfie with Musk and FIFA president Gianni Infantino.Five things to know about Cristiano Ronaldo | GB NEWSDonald Trump really posted an AI video of him and Cristiano Ronaldo playing football 😭 pic.twitter.com/Uz6egEsXhf— Football Vibes (@FotballVibes) November 20, 2025 Trump publicly acknowledged Ronaldo during his remarks at the dinner, noting that the footballer had earned “extra adoration” from his son Barron.He told the room: “This place is filled with the biggest leaders in the world – business, sports… My son is a big fan of Ronaldo.”Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now – just the fact that I introduced you. So I just want to thank you both for being here.”Cristiano Ronaldo’s White House selfie | XThe following morning, the White House released footage of Trump walking with Ronaldo and Rodríguez along the Presidential Walk of Fame, captioned “Two GOATS” with the tag “CR7 x 45/47”.Ronaldo later thanked the president publicly, writing on Instagram: “Thank you Mr. President for your invitation and for the warm welcome you and the First Lady gave me and my future wife.”Each of us has something meaningful to give, and I stand ready to do my part as we inspire new generations to build a future defined by courage, responsibility and lasting peace.”Ronaldo, who now plays in the Saudi Pro League, had initially been assumed to be part of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s delegation, given the pair’s close professional links.The Saudi leader played a major role in bringing the forward to Al-Nassr in 2023, following his departure from Manchester United.In a recent interview, Ronaldo described MBS as his “boss”, and also expressed a desire to meet Trump, whom he referred to as the “president of peace”.Cristiano Ronaldo pictured at the White House on Tuesday | REUTERSRonaldo said: “He is one of the guys who can help to change the world.”One of the most important people is the US president.”If we can help each other to make this happen… I wish one day to meet him because he is one of the guys who can make things happen and I like people like that.”Ronaldo ultimately travelled to Washington separately from the Saudi delegation.He is now back in the Middle East, however, with Al-Nassr next in action against Al-Khaleej on Sunday.Al-Nassr sit top of the Saudi Pro League, having won all eight of their matches so far.
