Donald Trump is a hard-core New York Yankees fan, a statement almost all the Yankee fans are familiar with, but Ex-POTUS a lucky charm? Surprising, isn’t it? NYY’s ex-owner George Steinbrenner considered Trump one of his closest friends and invited him to numerous Yankees playoff games.

The bond between Donald Trump and George Steinbrenner built over the love for the sport. Following the unfortunate death of the Ex-Owner of Yankees, Donald Trump was seen visited the Bronx, even the years leading to his presidency. Ex-POTUS was a huge Derek Jeter fan.

In an interview with NBC News in 2019, Levine said, “George always used to say we had a great record when Donald was at the table with him. And because George was superstitious, especially during the playoffs, he would always call Donald to make sure he was there. George believed he was good luck.”

Randy Levine was the NY Yankees for almost 20 long years and even found himself to be considered for Donald Trump’s chief of staff.

The former President of the United States in literal terms ripped apart Alex Rodriguez for using performance-enhancing drugs. He said Alex Rodriguez will never be the same player without the drugs and asked the New York Yankees to terminate the contract of at least trade him away.

Although it is unclear if the rift was due to A-Rod’s drug problem or an apartment deal that involved money and did not go through, Trump said, “A-Rod is just not making it. We want to give him a chance, but it was only drugs that made him great.”

Donald trump added, “A-Rod should donate his contract to charity. He doesn’t make the @Yankees any money and he doesn’t perform. He is a $30M/yr rip-off.”

He even went on to take the insults to twitter after he tweeted the reason for him to dislike Alex Rodriguez, “Asking why my dislike of A-Rod — dishonorable dealings with me on an apartment deal.” Looks like A-Rod tailed around an apartment deal with Donald.
