Martina Navratilova, a tennis legend, is known as a sharp critic of Donald Trump and his policies. Since the arrival of the Republican leader in the position of president, Navratilova has not spared him, using every opportunity to criticize his political moves.
The former world number one was frustrated by statements made by White House advisor Stephen Miller. His comments caused reactions not only from Navratilova but also from other major figures in the world of sports. Namely, Miller believes that Trump has reborn this country, saying that it was on the verge of disappearing until Donald Trump came to power.
"Let me just say, Mr. President, that this country was going to die without you. This country was going to actually die without you. That's what we were facing in 2024. We've been invaded for four years. Our communities were sinking. Our public safety had gone to zero. Cartels were running entire communities. *** trafficking, child trafficking, labor trafficking was out of control. Overdoses were out of control. The cartels were claiming more and more territory. City services were buckling. This was a country on the verge of dying. And you alone saved it."- Miller said, as quoted by Sportskeeda.
Martina Navratilova reacts
Not long after, Navratilova reacted via social media, pointing out that this country has existed for 250 years. Navratilova does not understand where such a circle of support for Donald Trump comes from, believing that his actions deserve criticism, not praise.
"Oh ***. This country has been fine for 250 years… it’s a work in progress that trump is single-handedly destroying… and that’s not me saying it- it’s literally hundreds of millions of people saying it."- she wrote.
Navratilova has previously made harsh comments about the American president, expressing frustration with his policies and public remarks.
In any case, the Republican leader has no intention of changing his policies, even though he has been harshly criticized not only by Martina, but also by other important figures from the world of sports, art, acting and politics.
