Donald Trump: True (or False) Champion?

Last night, presidential hopeful Donald Trump looked down the bench for yet another celebrity sports endorsement. No stranger to athletes—both famous and infamous—Trump has had plenty to say about his heroes and himself. And sometimes those statements strain believability. Here, a quiz to see if you can tell fact from fiction.

“What a winner. What a winner. Such a great man. You know, our country doesn’t win any more. That’s what we need right there—let me tell you.”

2. Tonya Harding

“Beautiful. Right? And crafty. So crafty. Remember those Winter Olympics? The cold ones? Look, you don’t want to cross her. Gillooly—am I right? But, seriously folks, she’s so, so tenacious. We need that in this country. I know Tonya Harding.”

3. Tiger Woods

“Tiger, such a good friend. I know Tiger. What a standup guy. Great golfer. Total class. The whole thing with his ex-wife—too bad, too bad. But just a classy guy, a really classy guy.

4. Peyton Manning

“I very much have always liked Peyton Manning. He is a very good guy. I know him. And he is a very, very good guy. [For the Super Bowl], I have to go with the person I know and I like. I like the other team. I think the other team looks fantastic. Probably, they would be favored by something. But I will stick with Peyton, because he is a very good guy.”

5. Shoeless Joe Jackson

“How about those White Sox, huh? Shoeless Joe. He grew up without shoes. I have many, many shoes. A large and beautiful collection. But how about those Sox! So white! Some called them the Black Sox, but, to me, they’re always going to be the White Sox. White, white, white.”
