“I said, ‘You have to win this game. You make me look bad if you didn’t win this game,’ and they were big. And Aaron referee, he’s a player but he’s a strong guy,” Trump said Friday morning during a performance at “Fox & Friends.”
“He has the biggest forearms – you know I’ve seen weight lifters – I’ve never seen his arms so big. And he’s also an amazing person. It’s great. He got up, hit two home runs, a single one.”
Meanwhile, Judge suggested his team to have Trump around “more often.”
“We put on a show. He came in here and told us we should win, so I think it gave all the confidence in the room to go out there and do it,” said judge via NJ ADVANCE MEDIA. “But I guess we need to have him around more often when we go out there and score so many races and do something similar.”
