“I said: ‘You have to win this game. You’ll make me look bad if I don’t want this game’, and they were great. And Aaron Judge, he is a player, but he is a strong guy,” Trump said Friday morning during an appearance “News and friends”.
“He has the greatest forearms, you know that I have seen weightlifters, I have never seen the arms so big. And he is also a fantastic person. That’s great. He got up, hit two homers, a single.”
Meanwhile, Judge suggested that the team should have Trump “more frequently.”
“We put a show. He entered here and told us that we were going to win, so I think that gave everyone the confidence in the room to leave and do it,” said Judge, through NJ Advance Media.
“But I suppose we have to have it more often when we go out and write down those races and do something like that.”
