In a country where football is practically a second religion, a startling claim suggests Inter Miami star Lionel Messi’s influence in Argentina extends so far he could run for president.

Lionel Messi’s hold over Argentina is almost terrifying. The man ended a 36-year World Cup drought and instantly achieved total invincibility back home.

Honestly, if he launched a presidential campaign tomorrow promising only free yerba maté and public nap hours, he’d probably win in a massive landslide.

Leading Argentina back to the 2026 World Cup final at age 39 only proved his absolute dominance, and even after falling just short against Spain in extra time, his legacy is completely bulletproof.

However, calls for Messi to become the President of Argentina do seem slightly crazy.

Professor Jiang reckons Lionel Messi will become the President of Argentina

Professor Jiang refers to Jiang Xueqin, who is often posting online under the channel name Predictive History.

He is a viral Chinese educator, writer, and online commentator known for making bold, often outlandish geopolitics and predictive history forecasts on social media and podcast appearances.

Speaking to controversial content creator Sneako on his Kick channel, Jiang came up with one of his craziest predictions yet, where he claimed that Lionel Messi will run for presidency in Argentina.

“He’ll run for president of Argentina, and he’ll win easily. He could stay in power for 20 years and do a lot of bad things for Argentina, but he’ll get away with it because he’s Messi.”

This may not seem so unlikely for some internet theorists who believe Lionel Messi doesn’t just play football, but secretly puppeteers FIFA from a golden throne.

For years, rivals have sworn every World Cup referee operates on a direct earpiece hotline from Argentina, practically gift-wrapping penalty kicks whenever he so much as blinks in the box.
