“Trump truly trumps the communists. And that’s not easy,” she added.

Navratilova, who was born in Prague in the modern-day Czech Republic, defected to America when she was 18 years old. She became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1981 and communist control ended in her native country in 1989.

She frequently criticizes the president on social media and told Ireland’s “The Late Late Show” in 2017 that she believes Trump is sexist and racist.

“I think he is a threat to the world, not just to our country, and you’ve just got to do your part,” Navratilova said.

Navratilova took to Twitter on Tuesday to knock Trump ahead of the president's prime-time Oval Office address seeking support for building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
