In a surprising twist, former President Donald Trump has announced his decision to purchase Chicago Fire FC, the Major League Soccer team, citing a profound moment of inspiration. The real estate mogul and reality TV star revealed that his wife, Melania Trump, played a pivotal role in this unexpected business move.
The announcement came shortly after Trump watched the emotional film “One City, One Heart,” a documentary that celebrates the deep connection between Chicago’s residents and their beloved soccer team. The film showcases the heart of the city, its unwavering support for Chicago Fire, and the powerful stories of individuals whose lives have been shaped by the sport.
Trump, known for his bold and sometimes unpredictable decisions, shared that it was Melania’s words that sparked his decision to make such a bold move. According to Trump, his wife reminded him that “you are the president,” which inspired him to embrace a new challenge and seek ownership of the iconic soccer franchise.
“I’ve always believed in the power of sports to unite people, and after watching ‘One City, One Heart,’ I realized the Chicago Fire represents everything that’s great about this city,” Trump said in a statement. “This is about more than just owning a team; it’s about bringing people together and making the sport even more exciting for fans here in Chicago.”
While details of the deal remain under wraps, Trump’s acquisition of Chicago Fire FC would mark a significant shift in the sports landscape, particularly within the world of Major League Soccer. Fans and analysts alike are waiting to see how the former president’s vision will impact the future of the club.
