    Trump Allegedly Takes Shot at A-Rod

    ROGERS, Ark. (May 8) - Even Donald Trump has strong feelings about New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.


    Trump was in Arkansas on Thursday to speak at the Economics Arkansas luncheon. According to arkansasbusiness.com, Trump talked about Rodriguez, three-time AL MVP who has been criticized for his perceived inability to come through in important situations.

    "He always plays bad under pressure," Trump was quoted as saying. "Derek Jeter, he's the greatest. People love Derek Jeter. Are those cameras on? This is going to get broadcast back home. Oh, now he'll leave my building."

    A company controlled by a corporation controlled by Rodriguez bought an apartment at Trump Park Avenue in Manhattan for $7.4 million in July 2005.

    Trump also talked about another famous sports figure - New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

    "Tom Brady is a friend of mine. I walk into a room with him and people go wild. Of course, I think it's because of me. It's good for my ego," Trump was quoted as saying. "But he's with (girlfriend) Giselle (Bundchen), and probably many others. But that's a guy who never gave up."

    Who cares what self absorbed Donald has to say? Every time he opens his idiotic mouth, he looks for the camera....proof that money gives you no class at all....he also might use that money to buy a decent wig or shave off his hideous combover....but again, when you have no class...

    A Rod is a better shortstop than Jeter.
