Donald Trump Just Got A Big Boost From An All-Time NFL Legend (It’s Not Tom Brady)
One of the toughest guys to ever play for and later coach one of the toughest teams in the National Football League likes what he sees in Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump
“I do like Donald Trump. I think he, sometimes he’s gotta think a little bit more before he says things, but I think he’s on the right track,” Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times published Tuesday. “I think that he has the fire in his belly to make America great again and probably do it the right way. I do like him, yes. I do like him.”
Ditka, ranked by ESPN among the Top 10 toughest Bears, was a tight end with Chicago before becoming their Super Bowl-inning head coach and carving out a reputation for toughness.
In the past, Ditka has surveyed the political field with a jaundiced eye.
“I look at politics today, and I don’t get too enthused about it. I think you’ve scared a lot of good people out of politics,” Ditka said in a 2008 interview.
For his part, Trump was gleeful at the praise from Ditka, who he called “a total winner.”
“I have always loved Mike Ditka,” Trump said. “He is what toughness is all about. When he was coach there was total respect. Nobody messed with Mike,” Trump said. “I am a big fan of his toughness and we need more of that in our country!”
“Our country needs smartness and toughness. Other countries don’t respect us any longer. If I win, that will change very quickly. Mike’s kind of attitude and personality is what our country needs as its representative,” said Trump
“I’d love to have Mike involved in some capacity. Why? Because Mike knows how to win and our politicians don’t,” Trump added.
