Who is more famous?

[robertmac43]

Help settle a debate in my household. Who would be a more recognizable/famous person worldwide? Christiano Ronaldo or Donald Trump?

I'd be interested to hear from some of the Europeans and South Americans here.

Who the f*** cares? They’re both . EDIT: Well that word is banned.

It's Ronaldo.

Trump is known by anyone who is from the West or consumes their media/content.

Ronaldo is a lot more well known though around the world. There are some areas of the world where a very small percentage know who Trump is. Even if there may be some pockets of the USA, Canada, China, India, Australia, Japan, Russia who don't follow football, the percentage of people in those areas that know about Ronaldo is higher than the percentage who know of Trump in parts of Africa and Asia.

I don't think either can go to a place without being recognised the answer is yes.

If you google both, Trump comes up with more than 100+million results.

Disagreed.

I think pretty much everyone with access to a TV has a clue who your boy Donald is.

I mean, this reminds me of the somewhat recent doors vs wheels debate, in that I don't really see the point, but considering the number of politicians in so many countries emulating the Trump model, you have to figure he's pretty universally known, even far beyond the "West".

But I'm more interested in what word this was

It's gotta be Trump.

Well, I like one and have absolutely no reason to think about the other. Thankfully I’m lucky enough to not have to live there.

It does feel that both of them makes certain groups of people very angry. Angry in obsessive and unhealthy ways. And that makes me feel sorry for people.

Maybe it’s easier for me not to be angered by Trump, not being a Yank.

I don’t know. I think one should be an inspiration to anyone trying accomplish anything, anywhere.

I just want to see the results and unfortunately there is no option for that.

Lol, what poll is this?

CR7 is the most followed bloke on Instagram and for good reason. However, if I took a random bloke from Micronesia or Cambodia and asked who either one was, I think more people would say Trump. His polarising dragon energy aura exacerbates his image even more; you either hate him or love him and how he has become probably the most "rental free" person in the world for people. CR7 is still ridiculously famous, but in the end he's just an athlete and that can only take you so far. A-Rod for the Yankees was one of the most popular figures of his time, but people in Australia probably have no clue who he is/was.
