DONALD TRUMP was labelled a “freak” and a “dirty b*****d” after Coleen Rooney opened up on her visit to the White House.
Wayne had spells as a DC United player and manager during the President-elects first spell in office.
The Rooney family were invited to the White House for a Christmas event many years ago.
Coleen, Wayne and their kids Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass mingled with the Trump, his wife Melania and son Barron.
Lifting the lid on the experience, she told SkyBet’s Stick to Football podcast about what businessman-turned-politician said about her.
Coleen revealed he turned to Barron and muttered: “See, I told you all the soccer players get the good-looking girls.”
It led to podcast co-host and England legend Ian Wright calling Trump a “freak”.
While in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Coleen shared the same story and added: “I told my mum and mum was like, ‘dirty b*****d’.”
On being greeted by Trump, Wayne’s childhood sweetheart explained: “It was my first meeting with him. It was like, ‘Hello, nice…’ and then that was it.
“We didn’t spend that much time there.
“We went with the four kids, but I just remember my kids sitting – there were tables and chairs and everything – and they were eating chicken nuggets on the floor under the table.
“It was a bit of a strange set-up, but it was an experience.”
Wayne Rooney’s record-breaking career
WAYNE Rooney took the football world by storm when he made his debut for 2002 with Everton.
He quickly became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer aged 16 years and 342 days and was named the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year.
The striker joined Manchester United in 2004 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford. He went on to make 559 appearances for the Red Devils and scored 253 goals. To this day he is still the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Following his spell with United, Rooney returned to Everton for a season. He also spent one-season stints with D.C. United and Derby County at the end of his career.
As well as his impressive club career, Rooney is also England’s second-highest goalscorer with 53 goals in 120 appearances, behind only Harry Kane.
After hanging up his boots, the England icon turned to a career in management.
He took charge of Derby County in 2020 and managed to just about save the club from relegation from the Championship at the end of his first season.
However, with Derby handed a 21-point deduction the following campaign, he was unable to keep them up again and subsequently left.
Then came a 15-month spell in charge of MLS side D.C. United. He failed to impress during his time in Washington and parted ways with the club at the end of the 2023 regular season.
Rooney was controversially handed the Birmingham job in October 2023, replacing John Eustace with the club doing well and sixth in the Championship table.
However, in 15 games he suffered nine defeats and managed just two wins. He was sacked in January 2024 with Birmingham down in 20th. The club were relegated to League One at the end of the campaign.
He returned to management in May with Plymouth Argyle but managed just five wins in 25 games. The United legend now finds himself out of work once again.
