President Donald Trump, in a discussion with conservative radio show host Hugh Hewitt Tuesday, spoke highly of Patriots coach Bill Belichick’s abilities — to the extent that he thinks Belichick would be able to translate his prowess from the football field to the military.
“If I ever had a military battle, I’d call Belichick up and say, ‘What do you think, what do you think? Give me a couple of ideas,‘ ” Trump said. “He’d be as good as any general out there.”
Belichick and Trump are known to be friendly. The president has name-dropped the coach a number of times.
