Called a “Druggie” and “Fraud” by Donald Trump, Alex Rodriguez Surprisingly Stands Behind Ex-POTUS’s Controversial Statement

Alex Rodriguez and Donald Trump are well-known rivals. These two entities, from two different fields, as of that time, became rivals in 2013 after Rodriguez was accused of having performance-enhancing drugs. However, Rodriguez recently showed that he doesn’t want to keep that rivalry anymore, agreeing with Trump’s statement in a live show.

While Rodriguez’s drug scandal was on, the Former US President attacked him brutally, triggering the rivalry between them. Though it has already been 10 years to A-Rod being labeled “Druggie” by former US president, fans still remember it. However, a few days back, A-Rod sat for an interview on The Rich Dad Radio Show, showing his effort to get things back to normal.

Alex Rodriguez Agree With Donald Trump on the Non-Developed Talent Issue

After retiring, the 14x All-Star Yankees legend frequently gave interviews and shared his opinion on various topics, despite rarely doing so during his career. Post his retirement, A-Rod proved his talent in the business field by establishing himself as a business tycoon. A few days back, he went for an interview on a show named “Pro Athlete Turned Investor – Robert Kiyosaki, Kim Kiyosaki,” and shared his opinion on how legendary athletes have been tuning into businesspersons once they end their sports career.??

At one point, the host asked him, “Another thing that Donald Trump said a lot of people talent, but they never develop it. Does that make sense to you?”?Initially, fans thought Rodriguez would disagree, remembering their rivalry, but surprisingly, the legend didn’t even think before saying, “100%, yeah.”

The legend further explained his point by mentioning that this problem is mostly with people who are “too smart.” And how an average student like him can look for everything that can go wrong.

The former Yankees legend continues, “And if you are like me, you’re an average Joe, you are like what are all the things that can go wrong? And I do think there are something about you miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take. As you get older, you refine that. You don’t just swing fences all the time.”?

The 2009 World Series Champion agrees on developing talent with getting older, and according to him though athletes sometimes fail in the investment industry, they have the most potential to shine.

A-Rod’s encouraging words will uplift the younger generation, but it’s shocking for fans to back someone who mistreated him during his crisis. The rivalry has gone so far that Trump once tweeted openly to cancel Rodriguez’s contract.
