Martina Navratilova has 1 word to say about Donald Trump after President-elect's bizarre comment about 'a lot of countries'

Martina Navratilova has once again taken aim at President-elect Donald Trump with a scathing remark. Trump made a peculiar comment expressing surprise at the number of countries in the world which left the tennis legend far from impressed.

During a recent press conference, Trump made several remarks that left viewers chuckling. While recounting his conversations with world leaders following his election victory, he admitted he was surprised by the sheer number of countries in the world.

"I've spoken to way over 100 people, where they called to congratulate not only the election but also the size of the election and the extent of the victory," Trump claimed. "They were great. I spoke to over 100 countries."

"You wouldn't believe how many countries there are. I'm trying the best I can to get back to everybody... There are a lot of countries. Literally, everyone called. It was very nice," he added.

An article about the 78-year-old President-elect's comments was reshared by Navratilova. She wrote:

"Idiot."

Navratilova has consistently opposed Trump and his policies. When the Republican won the election in November, the 18-time Grand Slam champion wrote a stinging message for Americans.

On November 5, 2024, the US Presidential Elections took place between Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Kamala Harris, and other candidates. Trump, who previously served as the President from 2016 to 2020 won several swing states that helped him earn his second term in office.

Martina Navratilova, who consistently campaigned for the Democrats and condemned the Republicans, wrote an alarming message for the US citizens after the elections.

"Well, Trump won. Fear and anger won. And a country that was born as a racist patriarchy proved beyond any reasonable doubt it still is a racist patriarchy. Not sure when this ceases to be true," Martina Navratilova wrote on X.

Since then, Navratilova has continued to critique Trump's upcoming term. She has not been on board with the cabinet that the 78-year-old is building and labeled it an "oligarchy."

Moreover, the American tennis legend was also unimpressed with Trump's nomination of Kash Patel as the FBI Director. Patel was labeled a "conspiracy theorist" by an X account and Navratilova remarked:

"Jesus..."

Donald Trump is set to be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States in January 2025. Joining him, JD Vance will assume office as the nation's 50th Vice President.
