Trump revealed that his youngest son, Barron Trump, had the opportunity to meet Ronaldo. “You know my son is a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo… And Barron got to meet him and I think he respects his father a little bit more now," Trump said, as the guests laughed. “Just the fact that I introduced you."
