Martina Navratilova endorses scathing criticism of $6 billion-worth Donald Trump's financial dealings & Russian oligarch ties

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova reacted to a critical post about President-elect Donald Trump's background, financial dealings, and political actions. The post also highlighted Trump's alleged connections with Russia and his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a post on X dated January 12, 2025, a user highlighted several key aspects of Trump's background and actions, focusing on his financial connections to Russia, his handling of the COVID-19 crisis, and his contentious tax policies.

The post argued that Trump was born into privilege, with his father Fred Trump frequently stepping in to financially support him. It also pointed to Russian involvement in Donald Trump’s business dealings, particularly after U.S. banks withdrew their backing due to his failed casino ventures.

The user further alleged that the 2016 presidential campaign saw Russian interference, including hacking and misinformation efforts, and that Trump’s team allegedly shared polling data with Russian operatives.

Additionally, the post criticized Trump’s pandemic response, accusing him of downplaying the virus’s seriousness and endorsing unproven treatments such as bleach injections, which contributed to a high number of deaths.

Navratilova reshared the post on January 12, 2025, on X, suggesting she found the detailed critique compelling and agreed with the portrayal of Trump, whose net worth is estimated to be $6 billion (as per Forbes).

"When you put it this way…" Navratilova wrote.

Martina Navratilova reacted to Donald Trump's suggestion to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, a body of water that borders the U.S. Gulf Coast and several Mexican states. Trump unveiled this proposal during a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Tuesday, January 8.

"We’re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. The Gulf of America. What a beautiful name," Trump said.

In response, an X user humorously tweeted:

"You know what would really bring down the price of eggs? The Gulf of America," likely alluding to Trump’s past comments about tackling grocery prices during and after his campaign.

Navratilova reshared the post with her comment:

"!!! Yeah!!!"

Martina Navratilova also criticized Donald Trump over his resurfaced climate change denial in the wake of the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
