“I said,” You have to win this match. You are going to make me look like if you don’t win this game “, and they were great. And Aaron judges, he is a player, but he is a strong guy,” said Trump on Friday morning during an appearance on “Fox & Friends.”
“He has the biggest forearms – you know that I saw weightlifting – I have never seen his arms so big. And it’s also a fantastic person. It’s great. He got up, hit two circuits, a single.”
Meanwhile, Judge suggested that his team should have prevailed “more often”.
“We did a show. He came here and told us that we were going to win, so I think it gave everyone confidence in the room to go there and do it,” said Judge, via NJ Advance Media. “But I guess we have to have it more often when we go there and mark as many races and do something like that.”
