If you had a strike zone, it was exactly where it had to be,' Trump said.'And I watched also, just before that, the way he got away from the defender. He was very well defended. All of a sudden, he's standing by himself, and he kicked it perfectly. And it's hard to bet against him. I think it's very hard to bet against Messi. He's great,' Trump added.Trump also told Fox Sports that he has a close friendship with Argentina's president, Javier Milei.Marine One, the presidential helicopter, flew over the stadium shortly before kickoff.
