Donald Trump officially announced that he is running for president and he already has his first celebrity supporter, Terrell Owens. The former NFL players says he supports his former boss’ run for the presidency because “he won’t put up with B.S.”
T.O. — who appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” with Trump earlier this year — tells TMZ Sports he gained a TON of respect for Trump during their time on the show and thinks he could do great things for the country as the man in charge.
“This may be what the country needs and Trump, he’s a guy who won’t put up with B.S. and has what it takes to change how government is run.”
“With that being said, Trump … YOU’RE HIRED”
Owens adds, “Plus, as the president, Trump would be able to say he knows me and he likes me … LOL!”
Terrell says he’s got no beef with President Obama — and thinks he’s truly helped change the country for the better — but says moving forward, he likes Trump.
It sounds to me like Owens just wants a job, you know as usual… We all know Trump will never become president but Owens wants to remain in his good graces and maybe get another show appearance.
